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."

what a RELIEF! but my poor son has been sick for 2 weeks (from getting the flu shots). He said he had a fever during Battlestations which made it really difficult. He said he's not even participating in Captain's Cup because he feels so lousy. :-(
I talked to him for an hour. He sounded SO tired. Ugh, I hope a good night's sleep does him good.

yes, my son did say they won 2nd place at Captain's Cup.
I'm SO upset though. When I thought (and RTC confirmed on facebook) he was leaving early Sat am, I made plans to come home Fri eve, as my daughter has a very important dance competition on Sat (she is a competitive dancer and is one of the best on her team - she gets featured a lot). So thinking we had to say goodbye anyway on Fri eve, I bought nonrefundable plane tickets and told her studio she could dance.
Now he is staying and I can't be with him. My husband and two sons are able to stay, but I feel absolutely awful. On top of it, he believes he gets overnight liberty. I am so torn. I have 2 kids with important events and I was trying to do both. Ugh. :-(

That really sucks...I'm so sorry for you, that's gotta be so hard. At least his dad and brothers get to stay...but I wish you had more time with him. That has got to be hard juggling things for both kids. And I guess you never know what will happen, nothing in the Navy seems certain until it actually happens! At least he gets to spend a little more time with his dad and brothers, and you get to see him Friday!

I know you feel bad about having to leave but I am sure your son will understand and your daughter will appreciate your sacrifice. I have 2 children (young adults) and I appreciate your situation and I applaud your efforts to show both your son and daughter your support.
