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."

My son is spending his Christmas working a 12 hour shift so he is learning that Christmas and other Holidays are just another work day I think he called home just to hear a few words of encouragement that only a Mom can give but prayers are always welcome no matter what situation they find themselves in
Happy Holidays and a Blessed Christmas -

Son also is still waiting to start prototype. Work schedule sometimes it is days, sometimes nights, and sometimes evenings Rarely is the work rewarding and full schedule. He also reports the equipment is often down. Hope he gets into the next class,I think.
