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."

The lack of contact is the worst. It has been a very emotional roller coaster of a summer for me. I'm relieved it's coming to a close. He'll be able to call and text from A school. Lack of communication is rough. The boot camp group saved me many times. Especially just reading that my feelings were validated and felt by all the other moms. Stay strong ladies!! You can do this!!

Hi, just joined this group. I have a son in boot camp. Are any moms still active on this group? I'm so grateful my son has the church support while there.

My son just arrived at Goose Creek for A School. He's inactive, but I want to get his records transferred anyway. Does anyone know what ward he'll be in?
