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."

Welcome Patti! I'm from Horry County too~ my son just finished bootcamp. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with, a shoulder to cry on or any concerns you may have. He just made it to Goose Creek last week. We visited over the weekend. You're in for a long emotional ride!

Glad to hear he made it, congrats! She doesn't seem remotely worried, scared...nothing! She's more worried about if I'm gonna make a cake or not for her friends before she goes.
My only concern for her is that she won't ever want to come home :(

hello ladies, my daughter arrived this past tuesday night at BC. Im glad that there is a few of Horry Co. ladies on here. I also want to know if you all want to get together to share and do olther thing that the Navy could use help with. Next week Im thinking about calling the recruiters office to see what the MOMS can do to help with other new moms or any thing else. If you are all interested please let me know. I just need to do something besides sit and worry about what is going on at BC. I have seen the youtube videos about BC; they are very educational. Im also getting a navy scentsy warmer to burn for the navy sailors to burn. Oh my name is Liddia and I live in the palmetto point area.

Hi Liddia, I'm here if you have any questions! I was a train wreck during boot camp. Closer to the end, the worser I got. LOL! But now all seems to be falling into place. I live in Conway, work in Surfside and play in between. My husband works for the City of Myrtle Beach. I would love to meet anyone and everyone with a new Recruit or Sailor. Funny you mention the warmers. I got a Navy and Army warmer. My Army friend just sent her son off Monday on a year long deployment to Afganistan. So sad! As a reminder, there is a local Blue Star Mom group.

The only thing I'm worried about is something may happen and she'll be sent home or PIR delayed. Everything is so up in the air until you KNOW they are graduating. How long would it be until it's semi official? I can't book a flight or anything...

I can understand that too about booking rooms or flights for PIR. I know for sure we will be driving up.

Still not sure if she will graduate on time. She's one of those types that likes to be prepared and ready for any change...she keeps telling us to hold off on buying airplane tickets.
