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."

My son graduated Friday. He is now in Texas. This has been such an adventure.

nani - I sent you a friend request. My son graduated in June. He is in South Carolina now in A school. We moved from Illinois to Utah last year.

Is this group active? Does anybody on this group have a recruit currently in boot camp? Or has been in the last year?

My son is IT...this is his first deployment and his first enlistment. He's been on the ship since he finished school. Have to been to VB and visited? We went to NYC last year for fleet week and got to tour the ship...it's pretty spectacular!

Trista, we need to talk. What does your son do? Mine is a PO1 in his third enlistment. He's a seabee mechanic, but he's part of the beach team. He's been in the Navy just over ten years now, and this is his first deployment on a ship.

Totally worth going to Chicago! My son was about 2.5 years ago and i wouldn't have missed it for the world! Kelleypen my son is also on that ship! How ironic! 1st deployment for me and I am missing him like crazy but the FRG has been great! I am in West Jordan...so crazy that another Navy mom is so close with a sailor on the same ship!

Kelleypen- Absolutely. We are from Chicago too so we are familiar with the area. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Are you planning to go to Chicago for graduation? It's well worth it.

Kelleypen-I just saw this and thought it was worth a try. We just moved to UT, otherwise I would have been looking for IL Navy moms. My son just left April 20th for BC. It is an adjustment all around. I was just hoping to find some locals who were going through the same thing right now. Thank you for your support.

Sorry. I have been neglecting this for awhile. My son is deployed currently on the USS Bataan. Any questions you have, we can help answer them. There aren't many Utah moms who have children in the Navy.
