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."

Bravo Zulu for Ian....performing division! Christian LOVED being ship 06 division 945. Wouldn't trade his bootcamp experience with his division for the world. They won Captains Cup too. :-)

Thanks y'all! I changed my name to follow more of the protocol on this site. LM Coil, what is your son's ship and div? Mine is Ship 07 DIV 203. We've gotten the box, too, but as of yet, no letter! Several moms in other groups think our PIR date will be the 4th of June, but I'm thinking it might be the 11th...any guesses on your end? What will your son be doing? Mine is heading into nukes...

LM....you can also contact your sons recruiter and get the address from him, probably faster then waiting on the form letter! The address your recruiter has maybe different then the address when you get the form letter, but write to him now, it'll get forwarded to him, and when you get the form letter, that will be Ian's correct address for bc. Will keep Ian in prayers for these next fews weeks, it'll go by quickly and you will be on your way to PIR sooner then you think! We're here for you through bc and beyond! Feel free to ask us anything!

Southern Mom- My son is also an EAGLE that left on April 12th. I have received my box but not the letter with his address yet.

Hey Southern Mom....we're here for you while your son is in bootcamp. It'll go by really slow at first, but before you know it you'll be attending graduation! So don't be a stranger, and don't feel like any question isn't worth asking. We'll give ya what we know freely. Hope you had a wonderful Resurrection Sunday with your family. God bless you and your family, welcome to our group.

My Eagle is heading to BC on 04/12, and then he will be in Goose Creek for the nukes training...my life is about to take another change! Happy Resurrection Day to all!

Happy Easter to all my Eagle/Navy Moms! Only 12 more days until my life gets back to normal, at least for working hours that is. Much love to all! Keep a smile on your face and in your heart, life is grand.
