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."

Hi to my fellow nurses. I have been it the OR for 25 years, RN for 28. My son just joined as an ET in Mar '11. He seems happy, I was Army, so this is different, esp since I'm now the Mom!

Hi everyone. I am a full time school nurse and per diem NICU nurse. My son's PIR is 9/16. He will have hernia surgery soon after before going to A school. As a nurse and Mom I am having a fit since I can't be there and haven't been able to talk to the doctor. John is only 18, so I am still getting used to the idea that he is an adult.

The sad thing is he may not get to PIR because he has such a short time left for actual boot camp that they may not reassign him to a DIV He will just finish up the 4 days and then got on to A school. Which stinks. But he said he may get 2-3 days of liberty if that happens so I can go spend some time with him.
