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."

In one week from today, I will watch my baby swear in. I will then kiss him goodbye and hand him over to the Navy. I am so proud of him, but I feel like I am giving up my child to someone else. I know he will be in good hands. I guess I am just missing him already.

Thanks Navy brat/mom! I am taking in every single second. You aren't too far from me. We are just south of Oneonta. Hope your son is doing well in boot camp. Will keep him and you in my prayers. Praying that you get to hear from him soon!

Our son left March 12th and is scheduled to PIR May 8th. We are in Cullman County. Enjoy every minute you have with him. It will pass before your eyes.

Hi everyone. I'm a recent transplant to AlaBama from Illinois. I moved down here on 8/3. My Sailor graduated from RTC on 8/1. He has finished A school and is now stationed at Jacksonville, FL.
