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."

My son left today as well! While I'm going to miss him dearly, I know this is a wonderful step in his life and I'm so excited for him and can't wait to see what he does next.

Hello... My son left on Monday, arrived at RTC on Tuesday and will be heading to SC for nuke school. He was suppose to leave in June but the recruiter called and said you're leaving on the 3rd. We had 5 days to get prepared for him to leave but he was so excited!

My son was suppose to leave in May, and was told he was leaving March 4. We had a week. He was so excited also.

Cool! Mine was so ready to leave. He kept hoping that he would get that "you're going in now" call but he didn't. We will probably be at PIR at the same time and our guys will go to Charleston together, too. Mine is excited to go to Charleston for the food! Oh, yeah, Nuke school, too.

We will probably all be at PIR at the same time. My son will be going to San Antonia, for Corpsman school.

Here is a Wall Street Journal article from 3/5/2014 about the shoes the Navy recruits receive. The pictures in the paper said they were from the day before. That was the day my son arrived but he is not in a picture. Perhaps one of your children is shown.
