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."

Good Afternoon! I want to share part of my son's letter. I thought it was pretty amazing! So... here it goes: "Mom PIR is not to celebrate me. It is to celebrate my division because it is team work and working together. So don't make it all about me." I thought that was pretty amazing. What a young man/ new sailor he is becoming. So please celebrate our divisions together.our kids are amazing! They all have come so far and accomplished so much since they left for boot camp. So, I would like to thank all his divisions parents for a wonderful gift. You all are truly blessed! And couldn't ask for anything better than these words from my son. I'm so very proud! See you all soon!

FIRST, to the Mom's who's SRs are still facing the challenge: I feel your disapointment and my heart truly goes out to you. This could of happened to any one of us. Be Strong, "this too shall pass." Hope will whisper, 'Try it one more time.' They're going to be just fine. And you will too!! Believe It. ♥
My son called at 5PM EST -- It's official: He's now a sailor. I'm proud of everything that my son has accomplished. Safe to say that this is an experience of true character building; no doubt he's no longer the man he was when he left. This has been quite the experience for me as well. The pain, anticipation, joy. Sort of like giving birth to him all over again. :-)
So, to all the Mom's who got the good news: I'm happy for you!!! :-) Congratulations. We made it through, too!! And to all those attending PIR next week....I hope you have a wonderful time. ENJOY.
In closing:This site has been a God sent!!! Thank you all for sharing your comments; posts and information.
All the best.......
Sincerely, Boston Mom
