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."

HI NurseKari,
My son left for bootcamp on the 7th also. We got his box and I am waiting for the official letter with all of the "real" information! There are a few people who also left the 7th on a discussion on the Boot Camp forum. The title of the discussion is something like "Looking for people who leave for RTC on 2/7/2011". It seems many people left on the 8th or 9th but I am slowly finding others who got to BC on the 7th.
