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 everyone! My son is Ship 11 - Division 301. We are from Tacoma, WA. This is a completely new experience for me. Only my father was in the military and that was during World War II and the Korean War. He passed away before my son made his decision to go into the Navy. I wish so much I could ask him questions. I can't wait until graduation and will be flying to Great Lakes. I am very excited for my son!

I love the count down clock...man I can't wait to hear from my SR!! I have written letters of encouragement since I dropped him off as well as cards. It seems to help me not miss him so much if I just write down what I thinking; "almost" like I am talking to him.

I am at a loss as far as how the PIR and graduation go - everything went to my ex. Would someone please fill me in on where to fly to, when the ceremony is. what else is planned, where to stay, etc? We will not be named on my SR's list due to his Dad; but I am not planning on missing this!!! Thank You!

From my past experience if your son doesn't put you on the list you cannot attend
they check everything at the gate if your not on list you can't go in You still have time for
your son to put you on and you will get info sent to you.

I understood they let everyone on the list in first, then everyone else; and that so far everyone wanting to attend has been able to.

I got the most wonderful letter today! My husband read his letter over the phone. I can't wait to get home and read it line by line! Sounds like the first few days were very very hard - but he is seeing a bit of a routine happening now. He says he is making friends - hope it is with some of the people here :)
