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 has been on hold since he left for boot camp. He had a hole in his ear but after being examined several times, the hole has healed and he is being pushed back into training. Our prayers have been answered.

Prayers for you StarChild. Your post reminded me of this site. In the busyness of life I had completely forgotten about it. Prayers for all of our military today and everyday.

Hello everyone. I hope all is well with everyone. Just wanted to stop by to say that my sailor is now a recruiter in Louisiana and is married with 2 children. 3yr old boy and 7 month old girl.
My oldest son leaves for boot camp tomorrow Jan 9, 2017. I am starting to go through the roller coaster ride all over again. Pray for me. Ha!

Donna, I understand exactly how you feel and so does every Mom on here, but your daughter will be just fine.She will call you when she arrives at Boot Camp and then you might not here from her for a couple of weeks because she will be very busy. But then you'll get a letter and then a phone call. You'll feel so much better. Make sure you join Boot Camp Moms. My son joined the Navy 4 years ago at age 24 and was still living at home. When he left for Boot Camp we were so worried, but he made it and grew up so much. He is stationed in Norfolk, married and has a 9 month old daughter. He is currently deployed and we are looking forward to him coming home in October. So that's my story. Oh, by the way if possible make sure you go to PIR (Pass In Review). You will receive all the information from your daughter about her Boot Camp graduation. It is well worth the trip. My prayers for you and your daughter. God Bless.
