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."

Welcome aboard!!!! Lots of moms, wives, girlsfriends on here and a lot of us are "bootcamp survivors". The sailors don't realize how hard it is on us too!! My sailor and his buddies referred to us N4Ms as "The Cult". Mine is in A school now in Goose Creek SC and a lot of times, I know more about some stuff than he does (because I pay attention to mothers).
Any question you have, somebody here will have the answer or know where to find it. You will find a lot of comfort here too. The ladies on this site are AWESOME!
Check out the groups for your SRs PIR date and join that group. There are groups for your SRs rate (job) where you can get a lot of info. Again, Welcome!!!

JessicaB-sailorMom, Thank You, for posting this link. I can already see that you are correct about this being my lifeline for info and support. I'm finding out alot about whats going on with my son's division. His first letter home was very short. I understand time is limited and he's been writing to alot of family and friends. I also found a link that lets me know from week to week what he's going thru. Oct 8th cannot get here soon enough.
