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 Robbin, my son is. I know how you are feeling today! We had a great family and friends gathering last night which was the best party ever! Lots of love for him. My son is helping me get through this by being excited and positive about his future, that's what we all want as parents :). It's going to be a long two months not seeing his beautiful smile.

We should vet our letters this week. Also i am thinking PIR will be the 31st. Unless tgey are a PUSH Division, which means they have a shorter boot camp stay. Don’t count on that, tho.
