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 Momofchris. I just saw your sons picture! wow. he was with my son Anthony at the airport waiting for their flight. What a kind, respectful and very funny young man you have. It was Anthony, Chris and Jessica. I have a photo that I took while Chris and Anthony were in the airport on one of those massage chairs. Their faces are too funny. I have not recieved any letters from my son, but his new bride did. She also got a 40 minute phone call yesterday. I'm hoping for a letter this week. Please send you your email so I can forward the pictures. I'm excited to know that they left together and are still together.

I am praying it comes today since I am reading everyone else has got a call yesterday. I could only hope for a call for I miss him sooooo much and would love to hear him, just to make me laugh. By the way the picture is funny, it made my day to see it... Thanks a million...

momofchris Good Morning, just wondering if you have heard from your son. Now that I have heard from my son I'm more relax, before I was always keeping tabs on the mailman. Don't get me wrong, I still look for his letters but its a different feeling.
