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."

I'm doing well, actually. My son is 24 and has been living on his own for a while, so I'm use to him not being around as much. Just waiting on his address so I can write.

I got my son's box yesterday! Was so excited to sign for his box, the Fed Ex guy asked whether I had someone in the Navy. He knew what was in the box:)

My son arrived at BC on the 14th, too. His recruiter tells me Ship 7, Division 312. I’m trying to be patient and wait for the form letter.

My step-son left on June 12th. Didn't actually arrive until after midnight on the 13th. This was due to a few fight delays.
