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 tomorrow morning.I have been trying to be so brave for him. I know a few tears will be shed. I have mixed feelings about that. If I don't cry will he think we don't care? If we do cry will he hate leaving us? Just dont know...
