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."

SeaBee Mom you aren't kidding. I didn't realize this last week would be THE absolute longest week of all of boot camp. I wonder if our boys realize how stressful this is for us? I know they're probably pumped up & excited about BS- that's not exactly the word I'd use to describe how I'm feeling. LOL!

I know right?!?!?!?! Just printed off gate passes even though we plan on parking at the train station. Want to do ribbons but I can't concentrate on anything long enough to get them done. Thankfully my boss has been a saint about my lack of brain function lately!

Good morning everyone...I received a letter from my SR div 314 yesterday, I thought I wasn't getting one cuz Thursday is my normal mail day from him. He said they were training on firefighting and confidence chamber(gas) was supposed to be earlier last week. He also said everyone is doing good and excited and anxious (just like all of us) for the upcoming events...have a nice weekend.

Good morning everyone. I totally agree with you both...it feels like the days are dragging. Haven't been sleeping good, been getting up at 3:00 am...if anyone gets that special long-waited call (lol) please post, cuz we might be on our flight...thank you...thank you...been going through bottles of tums. Daughter came back from weeks of underway & she's able to calm me down a little bit. At least she know now what I went through 3 years ago when she was in boot camp. Here's to all our SRs, I know they will all do great...
