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."

I am so happy to hear you got the call from your son! It's sort of like marking off items on a checklist.....the call, the box arriving, the first letter from him, the form letter, the second call, more letters, the final call, and graduation. You feel a lot better when you can mark the first thing off and know the second mark is coming soon. Today is a little better. I worked from home some so that took my mind off it for at least a while. Only a few times of tears but no break downs. I told myself I needed to at least write on paragraph a day to him.....haha, I sit down and just finished 2 pages before I knew it. I could have went on and on but stopped myself. I was worried at first that I would write the wrong thing and make it hard in him but I didn't. I just wrote like we would have talked over dinner tonight. I kept the emotional part out for the most part. Just encouragement and ended it with I love you and I am ver proud. I can't wait till I can mail it. Keep me posted if you are able to mark the next thing off....the box or a letter. I am super excited for both!

Just got the call that he is there and will get his stuff soon. It was such a quick call. I could barely hear him. I hope you got to talk to your son by now. You are in my thoughts.
