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."

I better get a picture on or all of you will be looking for someone in a pink scarf who looks like a blue siloutte!! I've been sick all weekend. Flu or something today. Yesterday is was missingphonecallitis. Wish I could stay home from work tomorrow and just sleep, but I had planned on going to school today and doing lesson plans. Spent the day sick in bed instead. So off to work I go tomorrow...

 

So exciting ladies! We can count the days until we see our recruits   Sailors on our fingers and toes!!!!WE ARE GETTING THERE!!!

A friend sent this to me.. She knew my son would soon be graduating Boot Camp. Not sure where she got it but she did say a Navy Boot Camp mom wrote it to her son.

 

Andria and Lori you will have to change some words.

 

here it is:

 

I kissed him and watched him walk away

He graduated boot camp and was on his way.

 

He stood so tall and so proud as he walked and he waved

  I couldn’t be happier of the road he has paved.

 

The weekend was short how I wished for more days

  Just in awe of his presence and the new Navy ways.

 

His focus and maturity came quick in nine weeks

  I know he will find whatever he seeks.

 

I am back to waiting for calls and the mail

  Never knowing when the time comes to set sail.

 

I will continue to wait for that next hug and next kiss

  Not doing it daily is what I will miss.

 

My son is a man now I need to let go

  I don’t know if I can, I just love him so.

 

I am proud of my son and his accomplishments to date

As hard as it is I will continue to wait.

 

I will wait for the hugs and wait for the kiss

  I will continue to pray and continue to miss.

 

Please take care of him God on his journey so new

  It makes it easier for me knowing he has You.

I'm going to order my PIR ribbons. Hope she can still do them. If you don't know about them, friend request Lala Ribbon Queen. She will send you info. They look like a really nice touch to PIR attire!

I just looked at the website on our form letter and it said she needs a government ID since she is 15.  My husband is going to take her to DMV on Monday and get her an official ID...just incase!!  I was told that they now mail the IDs....I hope her's gets back in time for PIR!!!!

Comment by bsmom on January 30, 2011 at 10:29am
Probably at Andia (seasoned Navy mom)- I know we need ID to get into PIR.  How many forms?  What counts?  I also have a 15 year old daughter I am bringing...no license.   What do I need to bring for her ID...birth certificate and school ID?
