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."

SRmomfromSanDiego, sorry about the post, I just reread it. I usually write on the other group and did not realize this was already under Nurse Moms group. I'm not really that silly! Enjoy your trip to Chicago.

welcome navy1of5 the time will go so fast. make sure you look at the info for PIR on this site, so much to do, I was unaware until too late and missed some things. I'm sure u've received "the box" by now, the letter won't be too far behind. Just a hint, when you write her, don;t put anything on the outside unless u want her to enjoy "special" attention. (Or so I've heard!)

My son just left for basic training on the 31st. So glad I found this website and group. I am Colorado RN currently working night shift but hoping to switch to days soon. So nervous about the next couple of months for my son, but also excited and very proud. I'm sure the worry won't end with basic though!
