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."

Remembering our trip to Portland to drop our son off in 2010...it was a quiet ride home. It's nice that you know when he will be sworn in & are able to be there :) enjoy tomorrow & best of luck to your son!

Good so far- my husband dropped him off at his recruiters so no tears yet. We are going up to Portland tmrw for the swear in then off he goes. Allot of the flights are being cancelled into Chicago so I am sure it will take a few more days to get there and get settled.

Welcome Jeter's Mom!!! I cannot believe how long it's been since I've been on this site:(
And yes Auntie J did a fantastic job with all the info, I really think they cannot receive packages in boot camp, only letters and pictures. I started writing Chris letters the day he left, I wrote every day after:)
Good luck to your family through all of this and congrats to your son for making a great choice. (Chris is in for 6 yrs now)

Thank You. this was great advice I hadn't heard a lot of this stuff his recruiter doesn't always articulate everything to us in the best way possible so I find myself asking the question several times in different ways to be able to get An answer.

Hello Everyone, I am from Northfield NH and my son is leaving for bootcamp in early January. How do you prepare for your soldiers departure? Are there certain things he can and cannot bring. I have seen so many different sites that say yes then another that says no. Also how do you know where "A" school is after graduation?

Hello & Welcome new Navy Moms! I wish you & your Sailors good luck going through Boot Camp & beyond! My son has been in 3yrs now & we are just so very proud of him & all he's accomplished!
Happy Easter everyone! :)
