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."

We saw him off today. 4 hrs at MEPS then we got go to the airport with him. It was an emotional day but in a good way. He was so excited and proud that any sadness about missing him was just gone. Anxiously waiting for "the phone call" tonight. He's a Florida boy so the weather at RTC is quite a shock I'm sure :)

That's hard, are you close to his family so they can share information with you? I can't wait for letters!

I am :) I've spoken to his aunt and cousin who are wry close to him and they agreed to inform me of his address and when he form letter/the box comes in. I'm hoping by next week or so to receive a letter. :)

That's great. I know getting letters is going to make my son so happy. He is so close to his brothers especially. I didn't even cry when he left until his 14 year old brother did.

Same here. He left behind 4 younger brothers and they were very broken about it. I wrote him two letters for him to read before heading to bootcamp and I'm glad that I did. I am so excited to hear from him. Are you planing on flying out to his PIR?
-
-
Yes we are. I am praying that they get 4 invites and we can all go. We will make a mini vacation out of it :). Even if we only get 3 both his brothers will travel with us. He should get liberty the weekend becaus he's staying in GL after PIR, that's what we've been told anyway.

Same here! I am travelling from Guam, so it would be my first time in the mainland. My boyfriend will be heading straight to Pensacola,Florida for A school, so I think we only have a few hours with him, but it's okay though.. As long as we see him. :) I hope to know his division and ship # soon so I can start sending out letters to him.
