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 Lori,
My daughter arrived in Port Hueneme 2 weeks ago, just after Gulfport combat school. She's been getting her shots and fitted for eyeglasses, uniforms etc and will be deployed with NMCB40 VERY soon. Luckily we had an early Christmas with her before she went to Cali. I know there are several others scheduled to leave soon as well. -

Good luck to all that are getting ready. Talk to them as much as you can now, once they leave you may get a couple of texts from airports and nothing for a week or so, it took almost 10 days for him to get there. That is how our expierence went with my son when he left. The week befor he left we talked every day it was very nice and make sure you get the Power of Atty from them so you can take care of loose end for them if there are any.
Good luck and thank them for their service for me.

Good to hear you getting to talk to him alot. Mom's will put smiles in their voices and smile through it but we are never ready, our job is to not let them know how sad we are and keep their spirits up and kind of treat this part like an adventure. Be prepared you wont hear from him for a few days once they get so far into the trip but he will call a couple of times. Good luck and write alot and stay on N4M it helps. Jackie

Well today is my birthday and I just wanted it over and no fuss this year. My 5 yr old daughter has put her dad in charge of a party for the 3 of us trying to make it special. This morning she told me all of this and just as I was going to make coffee my Seebee called me to wish me a happy birthday and I was ok until the end when he said happy birthday I just cried, eventually pulled my self together to be able to finish the call. I looked at my husband and daughter and said that was the best present i could have gotten. I miss him so much. Jackie
