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 need to book yet. Getting that done this weekend, I totally understand how you feel, my son was always outgoing and happy etc. I just hope he keeps hearing my voice say "you can do this". His recruiter was amazing and really prepared him (although the REAL thing is no comparrison). I just don't want him to feel discouraged. I have already sent so many letters, I think the post office is going to make me a designated parking spot! Take care and stay strong. Our boys will do just fine, and we can offer our support despite the miles in between. Love the excitement!!
