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."

Hi lamarmama,
I received a letter from my son today. He is going to South Carolina for Nuke school. He said he will probably be a Grad & Go to depart Saturday. His entire letter was so great, and he's doing well, but for some reason, I feel really sad. I guess I just really miss him and wish he would call.
Keep your chin up!!! My prayers are with you. It sounds like your son is really an achiever and hopefully his leg will be just fine and he will pass his PFA.
Are you going to be at the meet & greet?
Hopefully so, then I'll tell you the story my son went through just getting in.
Good Afternoon: I found a few links that might interest you if you have not already seen them. Just trying to help spread the word. One is on battlestation, etc..very interesting and the other is link to rsvp for meet and greet:

I finally did update my profile picture. It is of my son who is in BC and he is standing with his 14 year old sister.
Hope you are doing well. Just another day closer to graduation :-) I did respond to RSVP that we will be at the meet and greet.
