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 leaves for the hotel on Dec 9 and leaves for bc on the 10th. His recruiter did not know the airport he was leaving out of as of yet. We plan on meeting him at meps so we can see him get sworn in and then go to the airport. We are from PA.

Yes, We are planning the same to meet our son at the MEPS and then go to the airport. My son should be leaving from JFK and I think the recruiter should know what airport they are leaving from.

Which MEPS location did Mike leave out of, my son Troy left from MEPS out of Baltimore MD even thou we are from PA. Boy that was a hard day, I thought I was ready but who am I kidding your never ready. I have not cry that much in a long time. I very proud of him for the choice he made but I feel empty inside with him gone. Kind of lost, he has been my strong rock in my life. Maybe our boys will be on the same ship.
