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 am happy and a little overwhelmed. I got a call last night, but not from my SR. Apparently 1 of the guys in his div that is being sent home for medical called and my SR request. The young man told me my SR wanted me to know he loved me, and the boy told me how very strong my son was. That he was always pushing, and ussually the last 1 standing in IT. My heart was breaking that this young man was being sent home, and that he really seemed to be looking up to my son. I know the military world and was really aware of what he was going to have to go through. But I'm not sure many of these youngsters truely comprehended what it's all about.I pray for them all may the Lord give them strength and keep them safe and tight. At least until Sept 1 when we can give them those hugs and hold them for a bit.
