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."

Baseballmom2817, don't worry, I'm sure he's just tired. When I've asked my son how he's doing he too seems down and replies O.K. We only have 32 days until we get to see our SR's! It will get better. My son also had his wisdom teeth pulled.

My son (262) said they passed their exams last week with such high scores they get to carry a flag at graduation. I don't know what exactly that means, but he seemed so proud!
Is anyone else buying tickets yet for travel? I don't want to wait too long, but don't want to jump the gun either... -

Hi Amandajoy! I bought my tickets last Friday. I am thinking that the longer you wait to purchase them they more expensive they will be. I also went through Southwest, because you can make changes without a charge, or at least I've done that in the past. My son is also in division 262!

Anandajoy My Daughter is in Div 261 and is a stick as well as your son, that is what they call the people that carry the flag. The best part about it is you will see him first as he will be leading his division when they open the big roll up doors. It is sight to see for sure very emotional.
