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."

Yeah, just be as comfortable as you can. I had found a discussion forum on here about what to wear to PIR & that helped out alot. Have you gotten a phone call from your boyfriend today? I am hoping that they will get a chance to call.

Okay I am going to get one and that just made my life easier without stressing over what to wear and going shopping.

Yes, the last time Zach called he asked if we had wrote & he said then that they was holding mail. Yes, we will be at the meet & greet. http://www.mwrgl.com/gen_info/rtc_graduation/div_tshirt_form_8_09.pdf or you can call 1-972-347-6655. For $ 15 it is well worth it to support our sons/ boyfriends. Also, wear something comfortable. The ladies that I have been talking to is going to wear the t shirts & jeans, because you may have to climb bleachers & high heels won't be fun.

Aw I understand that. I work & school and I try to make sure I write Dev everyday.His name is Devon. Also, Dev told me they were holding mail. So, he may not have been getting it all. I understand and I am sure he understands how hectic life is and how hard we are trying to write them. I know I am so excited to graduation and see everyone:) Me and my friend are staying at the Super 8. We tried the Ramada but, it was already booked. Are you going to the meet and greet? Where did you get the shirts? I have been stressing voer what to wear to it. haha.

Yeah, Zach wants me to write everyday & believe me, I would love too but when you work 8-10 hrs a day, it is very hard to write everyday. I am glad that you are going to graduation. Where are you staying at? We are staying at the Ramada. I can't wait to see Zach & meet you & your boyfriend. Sevaral of the moms has ordered T-shirts with the Division Flag on the back & we are wearing them to graduation. Our website is Ship 12 Division 179 in Bootcamp for mom's. There is about 4 of us that has really bonded together. What is your boyfriends name?
It has been good talking to you

Well thats good. He seems sweet and it's good to know him and my bf are good friends. My bf will be going to Pensacola. Hope to see you at graduation too:)

Stephanie, do you know where your boyfriend will be going to A school at? Zach will be going to Connetticut & them to Mississippi.

Stephanie,
Zach is my son & yes he is getting mail. I am writing to him & so is his dad, brother that is in the Navy, his grandparents & people from church. I didn't write him as much last week because I was in bed with a migraine for several days. But he is getting the mail, not like everyday that he would want. Can't wait to meet you at graduation.

Just a reminder that one of the N4M site guidelines is not to post last names in groups or discussions. There is a link on the right side of this page called "Community Guidelines" - follow it and it will spell out all the dos and don'ts around here.
We're all still in the bootcamp phases, but its never too soon to start thinking OPSEC at all times.

Does anyone know Zachary Green? He is close with my boyfriend and wrote me a letter. From what I hear he isn't getting much mail. I was wondering if anyone knew him
