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."

WifeNMudder - The Navy brought about amazing changes in my son. He was always a good kid but had a problem with procrastination, time management, etc. Not any longer! He returned as a responsible young man. They are doing something right up there. :) You'll find going forward that there's nothing more valuable than time spent with your Navy Son or Daughter. I cherish every moment on the phone and the even more rare actual visit. Good luck!
I sent my son a letter almost every day. I included notes of what was happening at home along with paper-printed pictures of family pets and also cartoons that I found funny. He said those letters really kept him going during boot camp.

Enjoy your time together. You are about to begin your experience as a Navy mom. Make sure you go to graduation it will be one of the proudest moments of your life. The time they are at bootcamp are rough, I cried like a baby the day he left. You will enjoy your experience as a Navy mom as you watch your sailor grow, mature and make you so very proud !!!!

Well, we've entered the last week at home. My future sailor leaves on the 29th. We finished packing up his room yesterday. Grandparents are coming in from Louisiana to spend some time with him later this week. Proud, anxious and emotional right now.

Lah all will be fine. He is starting a wonderful new adventure and will truly become a grown up. My son went the Monday after Mother's Day and graduated July 7th if that helps with figuring out his graduation date. Just stay busy and be proud of him and his journey.

New mom here. My son leave on 9/13 and I am over here as a nervous wreck. Still learning how this works. I know he goes to the recruiter on the 13th and that is all.
