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."

Good morning moms! (Maybe I should have said proud, but anxious moms.) I am so ready to hear something from my daughter. Has anyone received a call or a letter from their child yet? All I've had is the 'I'm here' call. I keep telling myself that no news is good news, but this is soooo hard. Everyone have a blessed day! Gloria

I've not received a call either (other than the short one that was for additional info). It was difinitely good to hear her voice but I'm so ready to actually be able to talk and ask questions. Maybe we will hear from them by Wednesday. I've booked flight and hotel reservations. I've got a room at the Springhill Suites. Anyone else staying there?

Has anyone been looking at the Navy Recruit facebook page? Several moms of ship 03/div173 saw pics of their children on there. Looks like they got their first calls today too. Maybe we won't be too far behind. Here is link to facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand

I just read about the Blue Candle event. You light a blue candle when you miss your sailor - including Boot Camp! I think I'll take my grand--daughter (my recruit's child) to Wal-Mart today and look for one. Seems like a sweet thing to do.

Yea!!! Lonnnnng call finally came this evening. My daughter sounded really good and still excited. So very glad that she is seeing this as an adventure and as a means to an end rather than a bad experience. She's been sick (ear infection) and got a little bummed up but is hanging in there. She really loves everyone in her division. Makes me feel proud and less worried. Can't wait for 36 more days!

CAB, my call came around 4:00 and she was able to talk about 45 minutes. Did you ever hear from your recruit?
