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."

My son leaves on Tuesday at 10am...I am an emotional mess.. He told me i am emotional enough for everyone lol.
I was wondering if anyone can give the number of guests allowed to attend graduation?
Then i hope i can figure out where the answers from the post are!!! lol
Any input would be so appreciated and i hope to find a couple moms who i can correspond with regularly. My son is going to Great Lakes for boot camp.

I got my first letters My Adam has been in BC for 2 weeks. The day he left, I felt lime I was sending my lamb to wolves. It's tuff for the next few weeks, the box was especially tuff for me. 2 1/2weeks later I got 3 letters, yes 3. My son sounds Strong, Sounds Proud, Sounds like he has matured in such little time. I'm Blown away.
Stay strong Ladies, it will all pay off soon!!! -

Thanks for this message Adam's mom....that is exactly how i felt the day my son left. I have received my kid in a box and it was another very emotinal time...it's still sitting in my living room. I am now waiting for the "letter".....He has now been at boot camp for 10 days...it seems a lifetime ago that I sent him off. He will turn 18 on Oct 10...it will be the first time we as a family have not celebrated his birthday...He has 3 younger siblings and I am wondering if we should still have a cake for him and sing happy birthday....How have others handled this time?
