OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Please pray for Div 842. They will be going through battle stations on the 3rd. If they don't pass, there is not time to redo before PIR. I want to see my son so much. I am praying for the success of the division.

Stephanie,
Although my son has not attended the Catholic services, he commented on how thought provoking the chaplain's sermon's are. This has proven to be an important part of his boot camp experience.

Hi Mom's of Faith. I've been looking for you. My son is in BC with PIR 8/21. He's doing fine, but my older daughter is not. She's a single mom, with 2 little ones. She just started her first job as an R.N. It's been a struggle for her and all of us who love her and the babies (6 and 2). My son is very close to his sister and hated to leave tor BC because the restraining order she had against the babies father was up on 6/30. We all tried to get her to re-new it, but she didn't. Now, only one month later, he is back in her life and my heart is breaking. I won't go into the gory details, but this was not a healthy relationship. I'm so afraid for my grandchildren and my daughter. Please pray for her to wake up before it's too late. I'm not afraid for her physical safety as much as for their emotional and spiritual health. I'm also really torn over whether to tell my son about it. I know he would want to know, but he's headed to pre-BUDS after BC and he has to stay focused on himself right now and not let this interfere with his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL. Thanks so much for being here.

I received the first real call from my son today. He is having a good time. He said that boot camp is a constant reminder that "God is good and has a big plan." I was so grateful to hear his voice! I am so proud of the young man he has become.

Hello ladies, I was wondering if any of you might be able to help me. My son is now on hold in Pensicola and I would like to give him information on when the mass service is on Sundays. Does anyone know how I can get the mass schedule for the Pensicola?
