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."

Does anyone have the link to the boot camp schedule? I can't remember who posted it. It showed what they were doing each week/day I think.
Thanks.

I always use Firefox. My son told me about it a long time ago saying it has less virus threat and he never had trouble with it like IE. But, some things download better with IE. I just recently tried Google Crome and haven't decided if I like it yet. Too many choices!

REMMY17, I did the same thing...that's why I thought you might be thinking it too. LOL. Cara you're our resident pooter guru! Lynn, I LOVE that graphic. Yeah coffee! Ellen, that we SO good I stayed on there and watched a bunch of them. Our soldiers are the BEST and our guys are too. How did it get to be only 2 weeks? On the other hand, I think it's never going to get here.

kss, my son is Div 841, haven't heard anything this week.
Those trying the graphics, I'm the original computer dummy, but Cara walked me through it. The hang up is that they don't appear until you click on Add Comment. Until you do that it just shows the code. I hope that helps.

Maybe you could buy traveler's insurance? I don't know if that would cover it. I am worried about the same thing. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I got a phone call! :-) My son G got a 20 min call because of good results on some sort of inspection. He has a bad cold, and said he wanted to change his job from SEAL to Rescue Swimmer, so he would go to Pensacola after boot camp. Does anyone know what Rescue Swimmer entails?
Thanks
Karen
