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 are in IL. My son is definitely ready to go, as he's had to deal with an injury delaying his leave. I am very excited for him and have told him when he has seen me cry, it is only because I'm going to miss him, and because I am so very proud of him!
