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."

Loree, it is so exciting to see it actually posted. Helps a little making it seem closer. 48 days to go. My heart is needing a phone call or letter though. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend and pray we hear from our boys.

I printed and cut out the pictures from our division 313 blog so I can paste them to Wade's letter today so he can see my new Navy mom friends. Wade is 5'5" and weighed about 112 when he left. I see he's got some great division members to help him along. Reading the "beating" blog has my stomach upside down again. I pray our division is doing fantastic and doesn't have to do such intense PT.

TammyP, looking at your pictures, your son looks like he is a lot of fun. Wendy (Blake's Mom) said Blake is a clown as well. My son is definitely a clown. I hope they are all having fun together when they are allowed. I am envious to see you were at the swearing in. We were not allowed.

I'm right there with you TammyP. I have been having trouble sleeping from worry but I won't take a PM or anything because I am afraid I will miss the call. I carry my cell all over with me at work.

There is a Hampton Inn - Gurnee 847-478-1400 Don't forget to ask if they have a graduation discount.

Thanks, Loree.

My son's recruiter just called from my house (he was dropping off Wade's high school diploma) and said he was surprised we hadn't received a phone call yet. I told him I wasn't surprised because everywhere on this site it says it is usually three weeks.

Loree, is the Homewood Suites too far away? They offer the grad discount and I think will be cheaper then booking two rooms. There are six of us staying together. Thanks for your advice.
