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 have to leave town early tomorrow because my dad is really ill. I am so bummed that I am going to miss my letter this week. I got my letter last Thursday and I have to leave early in the morning and I don't know when I can come home. I don't know when I should tell my son about his grandpa. Dad will be having brain surgery soon. I was thinking I should tell my son about it when we know when the surgery will be and let him talk to his grandpa just in case. It's just so hard to know what to do. I don't want to rob him of the chance to talk to him before just in case things don't go well. It's really hard to know. I don't know how long it will take for the red cross to get to my son to have that call. I don't to mess my son up, I just don't want to take something away that you can't give back.

So sorry to hear about your dad. Sending prayers your way. And I'm sure if it comes down to an emergency type situation they will get a hold of your son quickly.

Debbie...I just went through the RedCross to get my son down here when my dad had his stroke. It took about 36 hours for the message to get to the boat & his leave to be approved by his captain. You will need to call the red cross yourself, I found out the hard way by trying to get the hospital to do it for me, & they will tell you all the information you need. The RedCross can send the message, but it is up to RTC to approve the call or not.
