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 can not forget about 9/11, but good things happen on that date too. You will hear from your son soon.Hell fill you in on what's going on and tell you how much he misses mom's cooking.

If there is one thing I learned in life it's that time passes quickly. In no time we will be watching them graduate. It is very hard when they are so young and leaving home especially when there is no communication for a long time. My situation is a little different from most of you. My Son is married and has a beautiful 14 month old daughter who looks just like him. Watching him say good bye to his little family ripped my heart out. My Husband told him he admired his courage to start over in life and we are very proud of him. He has a very supportive wife who joined the group also and she is already acting like the proud Navy wife.
