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."

Got my phone call!! We both started crying when we heard each others voice. I was actually standing in sprint when he called and I just started bawling! It sucks that they didn't get a lot of time but definitely made my night! I've never been more happy to hear his voice!

not sure if each division has Star(board) watcher but if someone son for div 325 is on here he reminds my son of his dad. Do have name if you are questioning if it is your son.

It appears that div 323 are making their phone calls tonight, so hopefully our boys will be making their calls on Thursday, I hope.

Sharpmom- Go to Recruit Training Command website (bootcamp.mil), click on OTHER LINKS tab, then select MWR Family & Friends. Once your there then select the Gen Info tab and click on RTC Graduation. You will find the link for the order form and care packages. Prices ae $15-$35 but shipping is kinda pricey. I was going to call and see if they can be purchased at graduation. We will not be able to see design until after graduation when they reveal their Division flag. Hope this helps.

ProudNavyMom....thanks for the kind words, I am better this evening, thought it still hurts like HE double hockey sticks :( It is nice being able to talk to my college boy, unlike my SR, the little texts and calls I get during the day are awesome and they really do help get me thru. I do have 2 girls left at home tto, 12 and 16, but dang does the house feel empty!!!!

Does anyone know the link to order sweatshirts or t shirts for our SR's division? I heard something about someone would come up with a flag design for the clothing, but wondered if that part was already done??
