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, my husband heads to bootcamp tomorrow the 19th. We dropped him off at the hotel tonight. I am hoping the 8 weeks go by quickly :(

Are you going to watch him swear in at meps?
Yes we have a 15 month old daughter. We are in MI. His technical school is supposed to be in Pensecola. I am hoping it is long enough so we can move down there. He said we could go watch him swear in but we are not sure what time to go? And they haven't told him and he is not sure how he will be able to let us know tomorrow.

I'm at MEPS in Springfield MA right now, waiting for my daughter's swearing in.  Feeling pretty good right now, but expect to be bawling later.

I thought I was handling her enlistment pretty well over the last several months,  until I figured out just how much I've been forgetting and misremembering about her enlistment (mixing up departure dates, holidays and places she will go for training). 

I'll adjust to being the mother of an adult.   I can't wait to meet the woman she will be in January.   

See you all in the PIR group!! 

My hubby got to Boot camp last night! I ready miss him so much. We have a 1 yr old daughter and I'm praying these 9 weeks just fly by for us all! Do you ladies want to make a Facebook group too? It would be easier to stay in contact and we could get to know each other a lot better.
He called me tonight from bootcamp and lets know he got there and that they get another call in about three weeks. When do we get the address so we can send letters?
We should get the box and the form letter in 7-10 days the box comes first and then the letter. I've also been told to number my letters because they can take a bit to get them and may get a bundle of them so it helps to number them do they know what order to go in.
