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 left on July 9 also. I randomly cry also. The lack of communication is so difficult.

My son left on the 8th from Atlanta. We got his box, but not a letter yet. I really want a letter and I want to know where to send mine. I've written one daily. They're stacking up!!

When his girlfriend told me how he wept in her arms the night before, it tore me up!!! She said that it was the realization that he's a man now. The chapter of his childhood is over. He's always wanted to be a sailor, but he said leaving everyone behind, especially his girlfriend, is the hardest part. I think the only thing he dreaded about boot camp is the peanut butter shot!!! It is an extremely emotional time for all of us. My child has grown into a man that I'm very proud of!!! I'm miss him terribly already!!! We have family dinner every Sunday and seeing that empty chair was hard.
