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 EOD Moms - my Sailor graduated on 2/7/14. We received 2 calls and then the one on Tuesday before PIR. I think the 800 divisions are held at a higher standard than the others. It's tougher for sure. But these guys are STRONG and can do it. So the "no news is good news" is true. If something is wrong, someone will contact you. This is what I've learned so far on this Navy Mom journey. Hang in there! PIR is worth the wait & it could be worse Marines have 13 weeks of Boot Camp vs. Navy only 8 weeks. :)

DoxieMom, I check my phone all of the time to make sure I still have a signal. I take it to the bathroom with me.. When it rings I get so disappointed when it's not him. Nearly broke my neck one time, and it was someone trying to sell something..I can't even remember what ... I answer all unusual numbers now..

Annabel, My son said three weeks but some things I've read here, moms have already started getting calls. Today is a holiday so they may have time today to make a call. Keep your phone handy! I'm an empty nester now too. The house is quiet and the grocery bill is so much less. It's odd but I suppose we get used to it.
Navy Mom On! :)
