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."

Hi I live in the Florida Keys, but there are a lot of moms from Miami and Broward on our site. Nice to have your son
home for Christmas. This will be our second year without our sailor, but at least we talk all the time. Happy turkey day -

It must be so hard not to have him home for the holidays. I guess that could be us next year. Now that he's in A school we get to talk to him all the time. Hope you'll have Happy Holidays.

What ship is she on? Ruairidh (it's pronounced Rory--sorry my husband is from Scotland and wanted the correct spelling) is on the USS Cole. I think he finishes A school before stand down. Are there any activities in the Palm Beach/Broward area for Navy Moms? Have a Happy Thanksgiving. I know Christmas will be better with your daughter home.

It's so hard when they leave for boot camp. We got to spend the evening with him down at the hotel in Miami the night before he left. I managed not to cry until I was on the way home. The first few weeks were the worst. But he's really happy with his choice. We went to his PIR which is so impressive. He also got leave when he finished ATT to be best man at his sister's wedding in July. Then my youngest daughter and I went to see him in September. Once boot camp is over things get better.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
