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."

Haha! That was probably us. :) There was another woman and a little girl with us.
The idea of someone we don't know remembering that, is kind of scary! I hope we didn't make a bad impression. lol. -

Oh no! Your boys were well behaved. I was shocked that so few families came to see the swearing in. I think I counted only 4 recruits having family there. to me that was kind of sad. I wanted my son to know I was there for him every step of the way.

Haha. I remember wishing they would sit down, and be still! You're sweet to remember them like that though. :)
And I understand what you mean. It was really sad. I promised my husband that no matter what I would be there. <3 -

I'm not sure. :) I'll be flying up with his mother and grandparents, and our two little boys. We'll see how it works out. :) Also, I read that he is only allowed to have 3 guests?
Nevermind. I guess three guests aside from myself..So that would equal 4. haha

Hello Everyone! Only 24 days and a wake up until PIR and we get to hug our loved ones. My son is in Div 131. We are staying at Navy Lodge and attending Sarge's Meet and Greet the night before. We have received 3 letters and 2 phone calls. I was very sad when we did not get a call this past Saturday. Oh well, I will keep thinking positive thoughts for this next Saturday. I am looking forward to meeting everyone!!
