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 have finally joined the group N4MA navy for moms annonymous. Lord help me I have to work in the morning.

Anyone recognize any of the squiddos on the RTC's facebook photo of the week, or as its been renamed "peek of the week'?
-

Do we have anyone from div 323 or 324?
-

My son wrote home on Sept 12, he said Mon sept 13 would be 4-3, weapons live fire. Does this mean that he has gone through hell week, Or is that coming up for our div this week? He also said boot camp is flying by so fast it is hard to keep track of the days. Maybe if they didn't have crunch boot camp, we would get more calls, but that would also mean they were gone an extra week. I prefer having them home an extra week.

I would send him a visa gift card with whatever amount he needs. I don't know if the shirts are purchased at the NEX or not so a visa gift card would be your best bet.

Hubs got me a shirt and himself one, he said he got me a new sleepy shirt! lol. I always wear his shirts to bed.
-

Get a gift card for the NEX and see if it can be sent to him direct? Or have him pick it up at the local NEX? Not sure what they allow but worth a shot. Can call them, you should be able to get on the website, I can.

For BS I think 323 &324 are bros, and 325&326 are bro div.

KevinHMom - All is okay. I know you are tired of hearing no news is good news. Hang in there. We are all behind you and our support is for everyone's SR's. not just our own. That is what this is all about. Someone wrote this site is the Chicken Soup for N4M souls. They are so right.

T's mom - too cute. My SR also has a black lab. He named her Eris with an "E" instead of A for the Greek god of chaos and destructive. Named her perfectly - she is a handful.
