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."

Well at least now you can write to him. Thats great, The recruiters laugh at us probably to. We called them twice today. This is suppose to be your sons hardest part of the time he is away, the first 3 weeks. Your son isn't lazy, we have just baby them so much. My son is the same way. Your son will do just great. Dont worry about his sleeping habit, he will get straightened out on that. My boy is about the same way. When he wasn't sleeping he was on his computer or on his cell phone. I'm sure they will be fine. Don't worry so much about him getting yelled at, they are all getting yelled at right now...That will get better in a couple more weeks to...Our boys we be ok...You can tell this back to me tomorrow when i don't get my sons address and i'm crying on here..haha

I have to keep making jokes about my son, it keeps my spirits up. My brothers and sister are military, but none of them were Navy. (Go Navy)! I know he will be fine and will become the sailor he wants to be. My husband keeps reminding me that I spoiled him, I did he is my baby, who is now a man. Bobbi Ray you will get an address and the kid box tomorrow. I am thinking postive thoughts.

We are totally different he was born in Los Angeles and we moved to Oklahoma City when he was young. He enjoyed drama, and music. He hated the out doors. In his Sr. year of high school he became interested in the Navy. He has learned how to swin, he ran track and hit the weight room all in his first year college. We sent 5 letters today.

He enrolled in college because his entry date was 9 months away, He decides to take classes that could help him through boot camp. My son is thin and long, I think he has muscles, Haha
