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."

Hello,
When I spoke to my son yesterday he mentioned again that liberty was taken away from them but it could change. Did any of your Sailors mention this as well?

Louielou, my son was unsure. He said it still remains to be seen, so I guess this means we won't know until after PIR. Think positive!

We made it! At Navy Lodge finally. Flight was, thankfully, on time. Car rental was upgraded at a discount, due to weather conditions. Roads are bad but traffic was moving. Everyone at the Lodge is kind. Now we're getting ready for Sarge's. Can't wait to meet everyone.

hi everyone..finally time to relax and catch up. what a busy happy weekend. it was wonderful seeing my son. Had to get him back to base by 6, so he could get ready for watch and to go to the airport. He flew out from Midway with quite a few going to A school in San Antonio. He is going to be a corpsman. I am so proud. I wish we could have met some of you. We probably sat near each other but didn't realize it. What a wonderful graduation ceremony. It has been a pleasure being able to chat, I wish you all the best as we move on to the next phase.

Hi Ladies,
I was disappointed that I didn't get to meet any of you. Like Lisa said we probably were sitting next to each other and didn't know it. Congrats to all your sailors!!! We just got home a few hours ago. My son started A-school at GL this morning. At least we can communicate with them now and hear their voices.
Love to all,
Tracy
