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."

Got my call, too! Dellene- my son said he knew which son was yours...My SAILOR (yay!) said they did really well on BS-21 (scored a 4.94 out of 5!). He stays in GL a little more than 2 weeks and then has to wait in CA to class up (they're saying April!). I had a hard time keeping it together, but I did it! Told him how proud we all were of him.

Got my call too!!!! We talked for about 30 minutes. I cried so hard when I answered the phone I had to give the phone to my husband til I calmed down. My Sailor said the first thing he wants to do when he gets liberty is get a deep dish pizza....anyone have any suggestions on where to get the best in town. Congrats to all our Sailors!!! Can't wait to meet everyone and can't wait to see my Sailor!!!!

Got our call and he talked for 30 minutes! Was great to hear his voice, although I could barely hear him for some reason. He said their division is still the top division. He will probably get his orders tomorrow. He said they've laughed a lot today, and they got to drink pop. He's gained 15 lbs! (He needed to.)
It was sure a long, long day of waiting wasn't it? But to hear his sweet voice lifted me up to cloud 9 I think! It's been great sharing these pages with all of you. Can't wait to meet you all and your sons. Congratulations to us all, proud mothers of U.S. Sailors!

My son mentioned,too, something about that they were the top division - Yeah 806! He also put on 15 lbs - which he also needed.
Yes, it was an awful long day of waiting. But, wasn't it worthwhile!! Congratulations to all the new Navy Moms of the new Navy Sailors - doesn't that sound wonderful!! So proud to wear the title Navy Mom!!
Can't wait till Friday to see him and meet ya'll!

I loved being a part of this group, too. It helped me get through this long and "interesting" journey. My son is also headed to Pensicola to be an air rescue swimmer. He is going to pick up his tickets today. He said something about being at O'Hara at 2 a.m. Saturday morning (UGH!).
Thank you Mindy for starting this group! God Bless all you ladies and your Sailors!

I haven't received a call yet, but I will see you all in GL. I'm trying not to worry myself about him not calling yet since I know everyone in 806 passed. I wish everyone safe travels and see you at the Meet and Greet.
