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 planning on visiting our son for Christmas Day. Look forward to getting no know other parents in this division and hearing all about our son's boot camp experience. We will be attending Sarge's meet and greet too.

We are heading out for a quick Christmas Day visit as well. I am guessing that chain restaurants ill be open then. Poor staff, but so glad to have a place to feed my son some non-military food. Have you heard anything about what might be open in the area?

My son is ship 11 DIV 045 and I have to say he raves on the food. I found it odd because he comes from a fabulous cooking family and figured food would be awful to him. His most recent notes have not been as upbeat, so I am ready for him to get a nice visit from us.
