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."

We didn't get to go to our Grandson's graduation from boot camp because of the weather but, we did get to watch it online. It was amazing! I just wish that I could see a picture of him in his uniform. His Mom and Sister and Girlfriend flew so they got there ok and I expect to get a full report this afternoon and maybe a picture or 2.. This 8 weeks has gone by faster than anything that I have waited on. We are so proud of him. He will make a really good Dentist. He is leaving for San Antonio tomorrow which is a good thing because this bad weather seems to be everywhere. It is snowing there too..So I hope it clears there a little bit before he gets there.

Lisa, I'm new to this too. It is so hard waiting to hear from my grandson. He has called his parents with his "I'm here" call, then his "box" came a few days ago. Waiting on the form letter now, I guess. My grandson left on Jan. 15th. When did yours leave?

Hi Valerie, My granddaughter is also in b/c, due to graduate next week. I do know that when she was at MEPS, it was before she got on the plane to go to Illinois. She flew from Portland, OR, and went to MEPS in the morning, before she left. She then texted me when she landed. So I'd imagine that your grandson was still in L.A. and will be arriving on base this afternoon. Hope that helps a little.
