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 would love to meet you for lunch and he's going into submarine computer electronics. Said he should be stationed in Conneticut after bootcamp. Way too far away from home! I've been having seperation anxiety so bad its not even funny! I know I gotta let go and I am so very proud of him but the mama in me just wants to keep him with me! Everyone said it will get better but i'm not so sure about that! I would love to chat with you so give me a holler!
