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."

Nancy: So sorry to hear about Kyle. He'll make it, he'll be there with the rest of them,because the others won't let him fall behind. Team effort you know. All of our boys have worked so hard to make it this far, we will see them all graduate. Can't wait to see all of their smiles.

so the five extra shirts i have are all XL (since it's technically a teen size shirt)..
i think the walmart where i go just got a new shipment or something cuz they have a million of them!... if anyone wants me to get you one let me know! i don't mind at all just send me a message with your size <3
Kyle's mom...
i asked my uncle (former navy) what could have happened, and he said that an asthma attack or allergic reaction to the chemical is likely, but shouldn't hold him back from graduation.... my uncle actually got re-evaluated after an asthma attack in the GC and he graduated on time, just had to get checked over again.
I really hope that this is the case for you!!
All of our guys and gals have worked so hard, i couldn't imagine being held back now... Keeping the prayers alive for you dear, stay strong!!

Kyles Mom: I have been so worried sick about you... I can not get you off my mind.. I know that I would be over the edge if this were happening to Dustin.. God is going to bless Kyle because he desrves this and he has worked so hard and has come to far now to not earn it.. I not only prayed for Kyle but for the RDC's and the medical people to be open minded and give him a pass to continue on and see that he has put his spirit, heart and soul into boot-camp and he has earned his place in the NAVY already... I am praying..praying..praying... Just wanted you to know.. We all care about you and our hearts hit the floor with you when we read the AWFUL news.. We are a team just like our loved ones are a team now... SEE YOU THRUSDAY!!!!

I sat there and cried and I said I miss you most too honey... I told him that I thought it was impossble for me to love him any more than I did but everyday I fall more and more in love with him.. As the pride for him begins to swell in my heart... I cant believe our day with them is right around the block now.. WOW!! And this week this page will be lite up with I got the I AM A SAILOR CALL!!

Some are just coming up for graduation and leaving right after so I thought since I have him the next few days I would let them go ahead... LOL.. But I have this sneaky feeling all of that is going to fall by the wayside and I will plow anyone over to get to him... LOL...

vicki - my son exchanged emails and cell numbers before he left, and he has kept up with most of them so far. He has made a lot of new friends in Pcola (he's actually at Corry Station) and they are all his Facebook friends now too. It's like going to camp, they make these awesome friends, then leave, but they are all part of the same great US Navy. You never know, maybe they will end up on the same ship sometime in the future.

The excitement is getting high in this group - I am so excited for all of you.
And Valerie, you will be happy to know that she will be able to text and call you to her hearts content when she gets to A-School! Just don't give her the phone until she gets there, they can't take anything back to the barracks (even though they have graduated, if they are on the bc side of RTC, they are still considered "in" boot camp - no electronics allowed). If she is a G&G, you can meet her at airport and hand it to her there. Otherwise, mail it to her new address at A-School (tip: take batteries out of any phone or laptop before shipping them).
