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."

YEA!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud of our boys and girls!
I will post it on the BS discussion group!

If you are expecting a call and don't want to miss it, if you have call forwarding, you might want to forward you home phone to your cell phone. I know other moms who have done that. I only have a cell phone, so I just keep it with me this close to the end.
Good luck for all who are expecting calls. I will try to be on as much as possible to read all the good news!

As for Liberty on Sat., I picked up my other son at 8:30. You have to meet them in the Chapel parking lot, which is the same parking lot as where we will park for the PIR and where we will drop them off. For Liberty on Sat., they march as a division and then are dismissed.

It looks like I missed the party last night. I was keeping all those in BS in my prayers.
I have found that when my son on leave is with me, I spend less time here, and when he is with his Dad, I am here almost non-stop.
Well, for all the family of those in BS last night, keep your phones fully charged and close at hand! I am so nervous about hearing of all who passed!
They should be finished with the "Capping Ceremony" I just asked my son why it takes so long to call. he said that after the Capping Ceremony, they have to go back and clean the ship and other things before they can call.

Alex's mom, I listed the BS the best I could. Some were not confirmed, so that might be why there is a difference in the days..I have no idea if there is a way to find out affirmatively the dates. If you think it is today, than keep your phone with you at all times tomorrow If you get the "I'm a Sailor" call, than you know that it was today.
So please, moms, wife's and GF when you get your call, post the division. I will update as I read the posts.

Has anyone heard about division 802? I have not added them to my schedule yet. If anyone knows, please post it. Thanks.

Mrs. Recruit, I think yours is also good! Much better than mine! lol

Alex's Mom, I like that.
Well, no matter how many divisions go in tonight, may they all find the strength to work as a team, follow orders and most importantly, may they all remain awake for the full 12 hours!

I am so glad that I am off this week. I would be a nervous wreck if I had to work and worry about all our recruits!. I go back on Monday, work three days and then, off to GL!!!!
