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."

Thanks...He is at my moms now. My sister lives there and takes care of my mom and dad. She has been helping me by talking to him about stuff that i know he will not listen to me because I am mom. Hopfully it will sink in. He tells me that he wants to go sooner too. I told him he needs to keep reminding his recruiter. My mom always says "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" lol

Hello, any NC moms here with kids in A school in Pensacola?

Brandon just went to his first DEP meeting the other day. He said he passed everything. He should be fine with the fitness. But Im just praying we can get to the shipout date. We have had a BAD day. We saw him going down the road with his GF in the truck when he was supposed to be at work. He quit his job and was going to the movies! Dad took his keys and is not going to give them back. I am alway stuck in the middle! Please Pray for us!

Tammy~My son also stayed 2 nights at MEPS in Raleigh. There wasn't enough time to get to the classifier until the last day. He said that he spent most of his time waiting in line.
Brandonsmom~I hope our boys background in sports will make bootcamp easier. The fitness part of it should be a piece of cake.
