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."

Did your son leave out of CLE on the 9th or 10th? Only reason I ask is because I heard all Planes were grounded on the 9th due to the weather.

Just got the box... :) I'm at work, so I haven't seen it yet, but hubby just called to tell me. He's leaving it untouched so I can open it when I get home. Even better, it's our anniversary today, so I had to laugh thinking, "happy anniversary mom, here's my dirty clothes." LOL

Got the box today, too! He even tucked a little note in his pocket saying he will be fine. :)

Hello, just got my approval for Navy for Moms membership. This is great! What in the world did moms ever do without the internet? I received the box today as well. I was hoping to get a little note too...but didn't. That was sweet.

Got home and opened her box, and cried like a baby. No note. Believe me, I scoured it. LOL. She sent back her packet of papers, her comb (odd), her retainers (female sailor had told her they could keep those). Now to wait for the letter.
