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."

Received my "call" at 11:30 last night. It seems the PIR date will be 12/20. I guess for now, just wait for the box, and an address for him. I found myself grabbing my phone to send him a quick text to see how he is doing... Seems odd to not be able to do that!! It is nice to know that I am not alone in this :)

My son left on 10/22 . He said he was ready I was very nervous; however proud. He called to say he was there and it was the shortest call I have ever had. I am praying for him and all the recruits success.

@proudmomoftwo2013 I'm holding. Holding on to his words, holding on to the thought of him growing up and holding on to food in the fridge.lol Now on a real note The entire family is Happy for his accomplishment. I m just nervous because im not a father, a sister or a friend. I am a boy's mother. The mother who was in labor for 13 hrs to give birth to her only son. So i cant wait to get that box either.

The picture of me that i put in his wallet read. I will love you son to the moon and back. Mom is so proud of you. You will always will be my little son, mom little bear i call him.lol but you will return to me as a man your mother would be proud of. Which i have always proud of him but a different proud. If that makes sense...... they do grow up too fast..... i am glad his room is on the end of the house. I cant go in is room without crying...... and yet we wait on the box and ur letter. Eager to see or hear anything about our Sailor....
