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."

I just told my 9 year old I had to go catch up with my Navy Mom friends! Then I realized..... I have Navy Mom friends! So glad for this group! So glad to have people that feel the same as I do about my loved one traveling off to boot camp! I am not quite sure how I would deal with all of this on my own, the not knowing! You all have truly helped me through this process! Thank you!

Glad to hear people are getting letters. Today is our usual "letter day" but did not get any-we are blaming it on the snow! Thanks for sharing your letters it helps when you don't receive one to stay connected!

I wish I knew some of the SRs in our division not getting letters....I would love to be able to send them love and support. I asked my SR in a letter but haven't gotten a response back yet. Maybe on "Mail Day" tomorrow.

thank you(:
and i think thats just the shitty part of having the military life when you have a family, its hard enough to take care of ourselvs when their gone but to have to take care of a family alone would be hard. but when you love your man you learn to love their job lol. the things we do and are going to do for these guys, their worth it tho(:

Well I'm very glad everything was okay! And yes, that's the whole reason we were waiting. We have no idea where we're going to end up, and want to be more settled once we start trying. So scared to have him deployed during any part of the pregnancy. You're very strong and brave!
