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 all haven't been on here in quite awhile, but hopefully now things will calm down. My daughter got married on July 9 and is now living at Camp Pendleton with her Marine. My Corpsman was home for a couple of weeks for the holiday and the wedding, it was so nice to have him home for a short while.
Jesspoo so glad your vacation is shaping up, it is so needed. I am also from MN was born and raised in Minneapolis. My mom couldn't make it out for the wedding so haven't seen her in a few years. So glad you got to spend some time with your Dad. Hope all is well and all are keeping well with this heat, is supposed to get in the 100's here in Nor Cal.

Ruth - love the cartoon and can relate. Although originally from Chicago we have been outside of Atlanta for eleven years now and this summer has been brutal here. Uck! Ready for something in the 80s!
Welcome HvnlySno - Friends, girlfriends, moms, dads - ALL are welcome. If I hadn't found this site, I'm quite sure I would have been clueless as to what SR's go through! Definately join the bootcamp group. It will help you get a handle on what they go through.

Ruth, my SR best friend; who introduced us, is aquainted with his brother (they all grew up together)...but, she only has access to him on facebook. I'll see her monday and we shall see what we can do! If anything I can at least try on my end! Shows my loyalty & ingenuity!! LOL! But, as someone who's gone into servic myself; though briefly (medical discharge) I can relate to what he's going through. I'm sure being older will have it's challenges, but he can do it! I believe in him! I don't want him to go through BC without knowing someone out there supports him and has faith in him! Thank you!

I've got 13 letters written so far! No mail today :( some say it takes maybe 4 weeks to get a letter. Plus I'm pretty far north! I'm not going to graduation, but we are talking about a big vacation after he's done training. I've even been keeping a journal where I "talk" to him. I'll give it to him someday. Thanks for being here!

if and when you can get his address, write, write, write, write!! even if you have to wait till later to get them to him. even though i hope you can get ahold of him. thoes letters are not only important to him to help support him, they are a really good way for you to feel like you are talking to him and feel closer to him, and to help pass the time. time will fly!! are you going to try to go to graduation? good luck! we are here for you!!

Thank you for the welcome! He got there 6/30, so I think he's in the PIR 8/26...haven't gotten a letter yet...none today, hopeing for tomorrow...I'm in Alaska, so I'm sure mail takes awhile! He joined as a reservist about a month before the age cut off...39. He is a social worker by trade :) We just met this past spring and our friendship grew...alot! So, I'm not a recipiant of "The Box" or the form letter...so I have no idea what division he's in. I have a stack of letters waiting for his address though! Anyhow, I'm not sure what I want to know, but I want to support and encourage him! Thanks!
