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."

we just got a phone call from our son! what a surprise! he's in 219! he said they still don't have their "after boot camp orders" so we have no idea about his flight to leave to san antonio. if either of my other two ma san antonio mom's know anything, please private message me what you've heard. however, i assume that y'all don't know anything either since they are all in same group. SO excited to meet you all! please come & find me at sarge's.....i'm the amazingly adorable short & chubby chick that walks with a big stick! ;) 3 days & a wake up!

i'm still trying to make sure i remember everything that i'm going to need for the weekend. i'm praying that we'll be able to see him off at airport (that he'll fly out of same one we are). i'm making a list of questions to ask him when he calls for the "i'm a sailor" call. i hope he'll have long enough to talk to me! ;)
