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."

Don't discuss future destinations or ports of call!
Don't discuss future operations or missions!
Don't discuss dates and times of when we will be in port or conducting exercises!
Don't discuss readiness issues and numbers!
Don't discuss specific training equipment!
Don't discuss people's names and billets in conjunction with operations!
Don't speculate about future operations!
Don't spread rumors about operations!
Don't assume the enemy is not trying to collect information on you so he can kill you, he is!
Be smart, use your head, and always think OPSEC and COMSEC when using email or phone!
Rules of thumb for parents and loved ones:
*If your sailor indicates to you they can't tell you something, believe them. Don't try to coax them into telling.
*If it is published by the navy about where a ship or unit has been (not going), that is when it's okay to share.
*If your sailor is in a high security area, say a nuke or EOD, consider using a nick name for them and you, a seperate email without your name on it, and don't even tell where YOU live. Let them tell you what they want you to tell others or if they are worried about info, always let them know you are on here. That's why they are careful on here about only putting first names on your profile page.
*Be aware, the OPSEC 10 points are about what they can't talk about. Think about what YOU might share as a parent or loved one of a military member that could cause trouble. You also have a responsibilty.
*Be respectful and teach other parents if they don't know and say too much, no need to be disrespectful or mean to them about it. Just guide them and let them know they maybe need to rewrite or delete the post. There isn't a member on here that wants to cause trouble or harm. They just aren't thinking or don't know.

If you need a seabee mom bumper sticker, go to www.zazzle.com and design your own. That's what I do to get mine. They aren't even very expensive.

Tobianne, my son had an abcess too and waited til half way through A school to get it taken care of. Not a good idea. He said there was no way he was getting held back. But he is doing much better.
Does anyone know what he will have to do to get a military discount to come home after A school? I am looking at tickets now for me to go to his graduation. But would like for him & I to be on the same flight home.

Hot flashes if I can pull the $ together I was thinking of doing a thanksgiving trip too it will be his first holiday from home and I would hate to see him spend it alone, he is Grad and Go and leaves the night of PIR, I wish we could have spent the weekend together.

WOW!! That sounds just horrible, that would have made me crazy, I really hope she does well, and thank God the Navy does have good medical care.

liongirl, yes, we will have a lot to talk about. As for the laptop, my son grad on 9/17 and left for Ca on 9/21. He was not allowed to have the laptop so I had to send it. Verizon is good, I already checked because that is what we have, so that was easy, no need to change service. Yes, we can visit. We plan to visit when he has a weekend off, hopefully around Thanksgiving.Right now he is sharing a room , but said his mate is grad next week so he will prob get a new roommate. Maybe they will meet each other because he has to wait for the next class to begin when new Sr arrive. Hopefully we can learn together on what to expect.

Understand that. My daughter was suppose to PIR on 8/13!! She had been moved to RCU for a n infection and fever of 102.8 and then they found 2 abscesses. These had to e dealt with, one was removed so it could go to the lab and the other drained daily. Then came the fact she was still having a hard time with her run, she was sick for about 2 weeks with meds daily. Then the jaw cropped up and reared its ugly head. soft diet and a splint, iron pills daily that made her sick, as well as they were having her drink ensure.
Yes I am actually wanting the normal BC this time.... lol
