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."

welcome Annette and all the other new mom's and wives. There sure has been a lot of sailors coming from Florida these last couple weeks. I wish all your sailor have a wonderful time at BC. If anyone has any questions ask away and I am sure someone will be able to answer them. I have 2 sailors one at NAS Jax and 1 on Japan.

Hello all... Manatee County here. My son left last Tuesday 3/13. Received my letter Monday and "the box" today. Now waiting on the letters to find out how it's going. This site has been my sanity. He is an only child so... hanging in there though.

HI mdamon70! so good to hear from you. this site has helped me and my younger son so much! we enjoy watching the videos of what the RTC experience is like and we are anxiously awaiting the PIR letter. I am hoping to receive his address soon. It will be so good to at least be able to send messages to him. I'm counting on you to share...it'll help us be prepared. Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome Kaitlin, Have your husband make sure he can do the run before he leaves. It seems that the run is sometimes the hardest thing at BC. Enjoy this time with him before he leaves. If you have any questions ask away.
