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."

Bethann - I know it's very hard. Our son is our only child... he's everything to us! We're empty nesters now and it's been a tough adjustment. I'm not ready for him to be gone "forever" but I know it was the best thing for him. This is an AMAZING opportunity and the benefits had to be weighed against my sadness about letting him grow up. Both hubby and I are former Navy so the decision for him to join was the easy part for us... it's the separation that's difficult!
I just have to say that the Navy will take good care of him. He'll have to learn to be his own advocate though and although that's hard for us moms it's GREAT for our boys. They learn that they are strong enough to stand on their own... BUT I know he missed his mom taking care of him! Hugs to you and hang in there. We are so close now!!!! I'm getting so excited!!! -
