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."

@Cathy (Chris' Mom): Thanks for responding. The videos are terrific! One of the moms told me she had a schedule that she found on one of the blogs....but there's many and many of those to research. I did find a 496+ guide that had all the information that they had to learn....whew, can't print that one out to read over. Ha! Well, thanks again for responding. Hope all is well with you!

Thanks Cathy for the welcome. My trip to Great Lakes in awhile away. I am only remotely thinking about it. Someone told me on this website there's a daily schedule that I could review while they are in boot camp. I'm waiting for a response but haven't heard. Do you ladies know where to find it? Does one exist?

Well I did get the form letter today. Been checking hotel places around. Did not want to wait to long because I might not get one near by. Now I just set back and see if he starts to write to me. God love them all. Was so happy to get my letter today.
