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 did not know what to think when my son said Navy, but the more I learn the more proud I am. Watching the video on BS21 made me feel all proud. I found myself talking about it at work, and bragging about my son joining the Navy. I've been to two Army basic graduations, and one Airforce graduation. I too am real excited to see this one. I bet they will look sharp!

I just got mail from my son today. I had sent him a survey to fill out for me. Some of it was goofy (trying to keep his spirits up), but I got a little info from it too. On September 16th they were in Week 5, on Day 1. (So, if I'm counting right, that would make today Week 5, Day 6)
He said the number of recruits left in the division was "70?" (Sorry, not very exact in his counting! lol!) He gave me two answers for what he's most worried about. "BattleStations-21" He wrote one word...pray :-) and "Nothing, I got this!" He said Boot Camp is "Not so bad, Graduation is just around the corner. So stop stressing...MOM." Not much info, but I hope it makes you feel a little better today. -

That helps alot. Just connecting with a mom from Div 326 helps. Oh, I hope I get a letter when I get home tonite. And, let your son know we are praying for BS and PIR and everything up to and in between. Thanks, Bethany!

Jan C...you're welcome! Hope you get a letter tonight, too! We'll take all the prayer we can get! Have a great day.

And they will be fine! This is so hard on them, I know. Oh, the memories they're making! :) I wish I knew more; not knowing is the hardest sometimes. But I appreciate your input, Bethany! Everyone have a great evening!
