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."

Left for BC Nov 5
My little boy left Nov 5! I got to go to the swearing in and see him the whole way until he boarded that bus. What a feeling! I felt excitement, pride, joy, nervous and a bit of sadness. The sadness is a Mothers feeling of I hope he's safe, I hope he's ok.. haha normal. Deep in my heart I know that he will be just fine. He did after all join the BEST! I am so excited for all the recruits and I can't wait until graduation.

My son left November 4th! I am so excited to see him and hear about boot camp. I live pretty close to GL, so I actually drove by yesterday. I couldn't help myself! I miss him so much but am so excited for what lies ahead for him!

My son left on the fourth, and got to boot camp on the fifth. Can't wait to get more than a twenty second phone call.

My sons recruiter told me PIR will be 12/31, and gave me ship number 6, but the division he gave me has way to many numbers.
