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."

Hi There Everyone - Question. Is there a place or link that lays out the recruit's training schedule at boot camp? I've seen posts making mention of "nice to know what they are doing each day" and I haven't found it yet. Still finding my way around the Navy4mom's web site. Can anyone help?

HI! I am Keith's mom Ship 04 DIV 087 I was not sure what name to use since they said not to post no real first or last names. Learning as I am going. We are very excited that our son has chosen a Navy career and following in the footsteps of so many family members. So much is to learn and exciting for parents as well as I am sure for our Sailors!!! I too am very anxious to hear from others if they have recieved a letter, I think my son will write BUT he is not really a writer and he told me he would write towards the end so I will have to hear from others, have to love our children LOL. We have not made any plans yet, so many websites so they may or may not make it and to wait to closer to the end to make reservations? I feel pretty confident he will make it. Can't imagine him not. Praying the wether allows for travel. Where are you going for you Meet and Greet alot of people has suggested "Sarge"? Any ideas? I wish we could bring more than three people, alot family so proud of him, Any information you share I will greatly appreciate it. Thank YOU! Brenda "snowmanmom"

Hoping to get a phone call, I have been a wreck this holiday season. I will try to compose myself as much as I can but I am afraid the sound of my son's voice (if he calls) will just send me into tears of joy. Christmas Blessings to all. Can't wait to hear if anyone has contact :)
