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."

We are very blessed ... As I read the post Mom_Proud_of_Danny I realized...I don't have to search for moms in the same division, we're already together...I'm just so grateful we're a part of Cardinal Company.
Happy Belated Birthday to Danny

KWL's mom - I saw you but I wanted to get back to Danny. It's nice to put a face to you now. Hopefully we can get to know each other all on here and meet at graduation. BTW, Danny told me yesterday that two boys backed out at MEPS yesterday before they did the first swearing in.

Got the Call too!!! He sounded Great!!! I wish I could have meet some of you yesterday. I stayed with him until the bus was out of site. It was nineteen years ago yesterday that I brought Danny home from the hospital. When he was born he was sick. Only this time I'm letting him go to be the man he wants to be. Again, I'm sad, but I am so incredibly proud. Hopefully I will get to know all of you on here and we can meet at graduation.

Guessing about 3. My mom thinks they stood to leave at 2:00 exactly. I almost didn't follow, but then I did. Stayed in that level up top for 15 min.?? Took pictures as they left....Then I talked to my other sons for a little while 15 min. ?? Headed down the stairs... then they sat on the bus quite a while.
I also sent you a message on your page.
