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."

Well, Ladies and RDC, I am now at my sister's house waiting for the morning so I can leave for GL. My son has now been in BS for 2 hours. I just hope all goes well, since I will be in GL when I get my call.
Any calls from 047, 048 or 802?

Jodia, I'm with ya! I need to do something! I still can'r believe that we are down to the hours! My son does BS tonight, so I know I will get little sleep worrying about him. I know I shouldn't. He is 20, but it's the mother in me! I will always be his mother and worry!
Good luck to all travelers! May we all meet safely in GL!

If anyone sees a weird red head with a pink Navy Mom hat on a backpack at MKE tomorrow, that would be me, so please feel free to stop me and say "HI"

I just checked both priceline and AA and so far, it looks like my flight is still set to fly in the AM. I set a flight notification to my cell phone. That way I will know in advance if there are any delays in my flight.
I think I am almost ready to head to my sister's. I just have to check my list. I want to make sure I have all the things my son wants and I have all the long johns packed!

Well, I have to go and pack. I am worried. I've only read one post about BS last night. I hope I can read more tonight.
Congrats Zack!

I just looked at the weather for MKE airport. I didn't see anything for weather related delays. The visibility is 10 miles. Tomorrow they are expecting 4-5 inches of snow.
I am landing around 10:30 AM in Milwaukee.

I'm trying to pack and read the posts. Any word yet from those who did BS last night? I am going to spend the night with my sister. She lives just a few minutes from DFW airport, so if the weather is bad here in Dallas, I am close to the airport. I also need to check with MKE. I just hate that the weather is so bad! My son knows how I hate winter, and I am beginning to think he did this on purpose! lol
Oh, well, I am going to be there come he11 or high water! (Or snow storm!)

Good Luck to all whose recruits are now sailors. I look forward to the posts from all the calls. I don't know if I will get much sleep tonight as my son does BS tonight.

Thanks for the weather update. I fly to Milwaukee in the morning. I better look it up to see if there are any delays!

I hate to give this up tonight, but as a teacher, I understand the "Homework" excuse to use the internet!
HCC, tell "Flojo" he better kick a$$ tomorrow!
