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."

I understand your sadness. He has 2 younger brothers at home 19 and 14, it's hard to see them miss DJ, that's when my tears come. It's amazing how mixed the emotions are, I can go from sad to absolute happiness for him in no time! I try to focus on the fact thAt he's wanted this since he was 12 years old and that I'm grateful as a Mom to see him realize his dream. My husband is taking it harder, they were fishing partners (commercial fishing) so they spent a lot of time together on the boat.
Where did your son ship from? My son shipped from Tampa, FL. Pam

At times I wonder when they are their at boot camp if they regret it or if they are home sick. My son also wanted to do it since he was very young. When he was little he would dress like the army and would get in top of a tree and hide with he's play gun like if he was fighting against the enemy. Since that that's all he would talk about. He also wants to try for the navy seals. I just miss him do much. We were so close to each other. It's just do hard for me. Everything here at the house reminds me of him.

Thank you so much. I hope I fixed everything. I made sure I deleted anything with my son's name too even though I just used his first. I'm learning quick I hope. Last thing I would ever want is to jeopardize a recruit's safety!

Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in March, to connect with others with loved ones who left the same day and may have PIR together. I also invite you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) there. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC will let you know what is happening.
