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."

Hello. New to the group. My son is on DEP, not leaving until August. He's taking his PFT on March 30th to become a Rescue and Recovery swimmer, hopefully. I'm here for support and information.

welcome Caleb's mom! My son Zachary just graduated on March 7th from RTCyou might be surprised that first Sunday after their first week we got a call. keep your phone handy every Saturday and Sunday and remember area code 847 is what will come up for you. Wishing you and your sailor the best of luck if you need anything we're here for you my night also suggest finding the link for your graduation date the veteran Navy moms there are phenomenal and will get you through and you'll meet great people. That will graduate with your sons divisions also make sure that you sign up for Sarges meet and greet at the Sundance saloon the information there is the best around.

My son Caleb left for BC on the 19th. I miss him so much, but I'm sure he is fine. I was lucky because I stayed the night before swearing in at the same hotel and took him out for a good dinner. His call home was only 17 seconds long though. 3 weeks to his next call.

Jeter's Mom that has to be harder on you than anything. I remember dropping Kate off for MEPS in Boston, I thought I was gonna die! I can't imagine a delay, the extra few days, as nice as it seems, the waiting.... I am home, unable to work due to an accident, feel free to contact me if you need an ear. I am home, will watch for your updates. God put me in a place I could finally support others. I hurt so bad over my daughter being gone, yet it is good, we have done our job, to raise them right and send them on their way. I am here and always will be for you or any other Moms that are hurting while transitioning from one stage of motherhood to another.

"So my son was sworn in on Wednesday in Portland Maine with in about 3 hours we were on our way home with him. All flights from Meps were canceled due to the artic vortex. So he is home with us until Sunday when his recruiter will pick him up and bring him back to Portland anyone else in the same boat? Hoping he has someone to fly out with.

AuntieJ she is AO. Through her I have been able to put her in touch with some great girls to work with for schooling, and will help lead her. She's a little lost right now, her dad passed away unexpectedly while she was at boot camp, so she is struggling with grieving and being away from home.

Jeter's Mom, Congrads to your son! Please contact me if you need any support. My daughter went to boot camp last September and is now waiting on A school in Pensacola. I can say those 8 weeks of boot camp were really hard on me. I never thought Id survive it, she was my last one to leave home. I had no one to reach out to close by that understood what I felt. Please know I am here!
