OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

My dad was in the Navy, and he is a wonderful man. He has always told me that the Navy saved his life, made him a strong individual. My youngest son attended college, and it just was not for him. He thrives on structure; needs it. Looking forward to going through the Navy experience with him.

Thanks!

I talked to my son and he IS feeling fine. He has been looking forward to this for a long time and does not want a separation. I wish I could find my original post, so I could delete the thread.

Appreciate your concern.

P.S. I can't find my original post, could you send a link so I can have it deleted? Thanks.

My son had a paper when he came home stating what he was paid what they took out $650 and he owed them $77.  Not sure how in the hell he is suppose to pay that back.  Things happen for a reason, so he will get through this.  Odd your son came home sick too.  I to am disenchanted with the Navy.  He will never be able to get back in now.
