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."

Any Dec. 1 shippers out there?
My son is shipping out in less than a week - on Monday, December 1! I am so excited for him, and so proud! Are there any other moms out there with sons/daughters with the same ship date? I would love to connect!

My son shipped out Dec 1st. I just got 'the box' today already. No note-I wasn't really expecting one, but was hoping. Now for the letter! Do you think it should arrive next week sometime? Oh...and can anyone tell me the significance of the rolled up jeans?

My daughter left from PHX on 11/30- Have rec'd the kid in a box, missed the "im here" call. We texted a bit as she was landing. She's called once for some info for security clearances and they let her chat for a few minutes. She also called this past Saturday, missed that, it was early for me.. so she called the BF. I will make sure the ringer is up going forward!!!! Haven't seen a letter yet. New to the site! Hello to you all !!! Here's to our new support system!
