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."

Daughter went to BC 9/25 anyone else?
My daughter went to BC yesterday 9/25/13. We got a 3 ring phone call last night but phone was dead when we picked up. Been reading on here that the phones die and there are no payphones. I guess we just wait now for the "box" and the form letter. Curious if there are any other family members of the group that started yesterday on here? Also when do we find out their DIV#? This is a whole new learning experience. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Its a different feeling each day. I am so very proud of the decision she made but I miss talking to her. We honestly bickered ALOT, but the day she left she was that sweet daughter that I knew was in there. 8 weeks is a long time, but this too shall pass. My hubby, son and her boyfriend went to her swearing in, I am home disabled from MS so that would have been WAY to much for me. I got to say goodbye here at home, which we will be moving in a few weeks so the whole family is on an adventure. Her to Navy us from Long Island to Florida. <3 <3 <3

I was told the same thing. I have contacted his recruiter and have not heard back. My child left Sept. 24, I was cleaning my house this morning and the tears were just rolling. I'm still expecting to see him walking through the door. And say hey mom what's up? Hugs and prayers to all those going through the same.

My daughter also went to BC 9-25!!! Got the brief phone call that she was there, that's been it. Hearbroken and lonely here without her. I have NO info, no box, no division#, no PIR date, nothing yet. What's your first name? And your daughters? My name is Sarah, I'm in CT, and my daughter is Katie. We gotta support each other on this journey. :)
