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."

thanks for the input.... I cant wait for him to get that close... if he cant leave I will be going shopping at that Mall every weekend... but the main reason I was asking is because my mom found out she has cancer about 3 weeks before he left for boot camp and is having treatment in Houston at MD Anderson, and I really hope he will be able to come home on some of the weekends without having to use his leave.. he is planning a wedding and has to save his leave for that.. alot for him to have on his plate..lol but he is a very strong SR so I am sure he will be able to handle it all....
Thanks for your answers this site is awsome......

Welcome to our group Becki with and i...:) LOL I am going to say no on the leave. If I remember right they can't go more tha 100 miles away on leave. Anyone else have an answer. I think it is a few weeks of phases before they can put on civies too. Lisa so sweet of you to help me kkep count on my days. Whay can't you live closer to me so we could hang out. How is the baby doing? Hope all is well!!!

Becki Welcome!! And good question...........I would say probably, but I'm not 100% sure. Chris was also in Merridian, and I do know that they can leave the base because there is a mall nearby (and that's about it LOL) and I know Chris used to go there just for something to do. A few of them would chip in for a cab:) So if they can do that I'm guessing they can leave for a weekend????
BeckyM now it's 5 days!!! Lucky you, I am so very jealous of all of you that have your sailors home for Christmas. Enjoy your time:)
