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."

Kathy, if this is your "I'm a Sailor" call - I know of one mom who never got the call! She went to PIR anyway (already had the tickets). She did not see her son during the ceremony. We later (yes, I went to her son's PIR also) - that he had to do battlestations again. They knew he would not be able to make it standing through the ceremony - so he got to sit in the bleachers and watch it.

Kathy, is your daughter going to San Antonio for MA or corpsman? I know there is a MA San Antonio group - I am not sure about corpsman since they just started going to SA for A school. You could find those groups and ask there. So much has changed since my son finished A school.

Hi ladies,
The baby is doing good. He weighs about 4lbs 8 oz as of 2 days ago and thats good because his birth weight was 3 lbs 12oz and he is breathing on his own with no help only thing left in order to come home is that he must start bottle feeding on a regular basis. Im going to see him today. I miss both him and my husband(SR). Thanks for asking guys, I just wish it would cool off outside.
