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."

6 days left to go! It is unbelievable! Got a letter today, probably my last one. We are leaving on Wednesday. I haven't gotten our ribbons yet. They must be on their way if others have just gotten theirs. I had my daughter's boyfriend make a copy of his birth certificate, so that at least his last name on the form will be the same as his mother's maiden name. She has alot of questions for MA group. She is shipping out to San Antonio on Monday for MA training. I am going to join that group now and start asking questions. She wants to enjoy the weekend, but hates the thought of saying good bye again. Good Luck to all in BS. My prayers are with those that for whatever reason could not make it this far. Their day will come, too.

Hey TB, read that BS discussion above. i think it says, I know I am rearranging my whole work day so I can be at work when he calls. I wrote him a letter to call me there.

Lala..I received my ribbons today!! Thank you so much..and also for the little embellishment! I will say, I am a crafter...and could not have done a better job! Thank you so much. We will wear these very proudly!
Today...his last letter (we will be there next thursday...so no mail for us here) and the ribbons...very emotional.
He is ready...we are ready. Now, how do I go without him for 33+ weeks when he goes to school? I guess atleast we will be able to communicate more frequently, hope that will help!
Thank you again Lala. These mean a lot to us!!

Ah...letter day! Assured me he ordered his pictures (i am a scrapbook mom!). Said (and this would have been written last Sunday) T-Gas Chamber, W-last Inspection, Th-last physical, F-Test 3..this coming Monday-BS.
"I just can't wait to buy a Monster".
Sounds good~sounds ready to be done!!

Gate passes are issued by the individual airlines. So, you will want to meet your son at the airport & have him go to the ticket counter with you
