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."

Kshanama: It has recently hit me my son is leaving soon. After high school he moved out of state for a few years, so I am use to him physically being gone. The hard part will be the lack of communication while in boot camp. We talk everyday. What A school is your daughter going to?

We are proud of him, as I'm sure you are of your son. He came to us with this choice. It's going to be a long wait, but for now I just want to be supportive for him. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers. We Nevada Moms gotta stick together!
BTW...There's a Nevada Moms group on N4M in case you were interested in joining. -

My son leaves June 18th. He's been waiting since last November for the next Nuke BC. He's super ready and we are too. But, as it gets closer and closer, the time is just flying by. We have things planned nearly every weekend for him to see family and friends before he leaves. But, we're really excited and proud of him. We're from Washington state.
