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."

I am so sorry to hear that Briditte:( I know it is so hard being set back. I am thankful that he has a chance to do it again and still graduate. I know it is VERY heartbreaking to get the news there won't be a graduation when expected. Hang in there, he will make it the next time I am sure and you will see him graduate the next time around.

Hi y'all! We are all still on our horrible roller coaster ride that I am so ready to be off of but still have a long ride ahead:( I wanted to let you all know that I am praying for Div 080 during their battlestations and praying that all pass and no one gets any more bad news! I am both excited for you all and sad for us at the same time! Congratulations to your SRs that have made it and know you are all ready to jump out of your seats in anticipation for that call! I can only imagine the excitement building up! God bless you and your SRs!

Leslie,
With heavy heart we say good bye from this site, but not from our hearts. So sorry that this journey came to an end for you this way. Give that boy some extra hugs in the coming days and let him know that you love and support him no matter what. The journey of being a Navy mom may have ended, but the journey of being his mom has not. Best wishes to you both! Please keep in touch!!!!!

Hey all! I was on fb page and they were talking about DIV photos that were taken throughout bootcamp. Did anyone get the extra photos that were available? I wanted to see if possibly there were any with my son in them before he got out? He was there through 7 weeks so if there were any taken before I would like to get one if possilbe so he will have that at least:/ I will be picking him up from airport tomorrow!! Been a long 9 1/2 weeks! One thing I can look forward to is getting of the roller coaster ride from Hell. (I couldn't think of a better word to explain it:/)
Thank you all and congratulations to all your sailors!:)
God bless, Leslie
