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."

Hello, I spoke to my son Saturday. I almost missed his call as I did the very 1st after arrival. He sounded great and told me he was enjoying Great Lakes. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

The winner of this week's Tuesday Trivia has a SR in DIV 25! You all will get to see your SR's in a group picture on the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command's FB page (if I am correct?) There is only one Div 25 at Boot Camp, right? YAY! I'm jealous!

Ok, ladies. What are all your SRs going to be when they grow up? lol!
Mine will be Gunner's Mate. So he gets to stay in GL for A school. Which makes me incredibly happy, since we live in Michigan! We are staying all weekend after PIR and leaving Monday morning. All four other kids (and 1 soon-to-be son-in-law) are going with us. Should be a very unconventional Thanksgiving for us!

Mine is AD Machinist Mate and will be going to Pensacola for A school - about the same distance away from us as Great Lakes....His long term goal is West Coast but that was before BC :) I'm hoping being away changes his plan to Norfolk or at least East Coast !
