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."

Thank You!  My precious Son is leaving for BC in less than 3 weeks. He is tough, fit, and ready to go.  I am so proud of him- where did he get all that confidence?  He has been with us for 19 years and it seems like yesterday that he changed our lives forever and mad me a Mom.  I am going to miss him so much!  I was wondering what is acceptable to send him. Can I send food? I read that stationary is ok. What about toiletries or clothing?  Thanks.

This is my first time communicating on this site.  My daughter is scheduled to graduate July 10.  My husband and I are so excited and can't wait to see her.  We haven't received a phone call from her in the past 2 -3 weeks.  However, we did get a letter.  With the graduation a few days away, is this common not here from your child?  Should we be worried that she will not be able to graduate?  She doesn't have her orders yet either?
