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."

Hello everyone:
So I am very new to this whole thing. My little brother just left for boot camp on 3/6. I am not the wife, fiancé, or mother of a Navy man, but he has been in my life for over 20 years and I miss him dearly. I look forward to getting to know some of you!!

Hi Alyssa Marie....welcome to N4M's (and sisters):) This my make you feel a little better. My son left for BC on 2/27...we have only recieved his box and form letter. My son is 20 and has three younger brothers that he has helped take care of since they were babies. They are 13, 9 and 6. They miss him soooo much especially the oldest. They have been writing letters to him, since we do have his address. I can understand how you are feeling missing your brother, its not easy:( but your not alone. I think it will get easier when you can send and recieve letters....hopefully you should get his box and address this week. we are waiting for letters and a phone call from our SR. His brothers are hoping they are around for the phone call...cant wait. When you find out his ship and div you will be able to join that group and make friends with other moms and families that are in the same PIR as your brother. It looks like my son is a week ahead of your brother. I hope this helped, hang in there...talk to you soon, Hugs... Andrea
