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 Leslie
My son leaves for basic on July 7th. I have found the bootcamp.navy.mil website very useful.

Jordan just called me from O'Hara airport. just waiting for the shuttle to take them to base. He sounds happy and excited. Now I sit and wait for the 30 sec phone call telling me he is on base and arrived safely. What a life changing event this has been.

@Lynnie78 our sons may not be in the same division for bootcamp, but they may have a good chance at being at A school together.
