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."

My oldest son also left for BC on Sept. 12th. I recieved the scripted Im here phone call last night. I didnt realize that I would have such a hard time with him leaving. Im trying to keep positive thoughts instead of just thinking about how he is not around anymore. I think the hardest part is not being able to cummunicate with them during the first couple of weeks.
