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."

Hello Proudmama just want to say, Hang in there. It's never easy to watch our kids start their own Journey. Hopefully you will receive your form letter in the next day or two. Trust me it gets better as the weeks go by. My Son is on week number 5 now. I miss him but i'm feeling stronger each day.
