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."

Hello.Yes i did get a call on sunday. My cell phone is one of those touch screen things (errrrr) and when i picked up the phone to answer it i hit..... something and lost the dang call! i wanted to die. Thankfullly she called her dads phone. I too asked her if she knew your daughter she said yes and that your daughter is a very nice person. i Tried to E-Mail you back on sunday night when i got home from work but today it said it could not be deliverd soooo i thought i would try this. My daughter did mention tendons on the phone call. said she has doc appointment tomorrow. Im so sorry to here that your girl is going through that negative stuff with the doctor. My brother was in the Navy too and said alot of the doctors there think that way... I get angry thinking about it.. Im sure she would LOVE to be out of ship 4 and moving forword. My daughter got the same attitude. I will Just keep Praying for them... for ALL of these young men and women. The sun will shine and us moms will be there to see it with them, Best wishes and happy thoughts for you and yours. thank you so very very much for ALL that you have done to help me. I hope someday to repay the favor.... God Bless.
Hi 1ProudMom....Yep! They sure are! I am going to tell him all about my "lifesavers" I have found on this amazing website! Super thrilled to finally have some information, and to have people to sure this wild and crazy ride with! First batch of mail is leaving today.
Have a great day ~ smile n' God Bless!
Kyle left a message that he will grad on April 27th..No ship or div# ..I have been calling his new recruiter as his old one has been promoted.But of course I just leave messages LOL I warned him I was a stalker HAHA but he is trying to get me Kyle's address..
1ProudMom,
You're very welcome. Don't be too alarmed by that phone call. The first few days of bc are intense, extremely stressful and overwhelming. They spend the first couple days non-stop and therefore are also very tired. But everyone pulls through and then things get settled into a routine. You may not hear much from her for the first 3 weeks after the 'I'm here" call. You will get a form letter with her address and PIR info (and hopefully one or two lines from her) and then you'll get the "kid in the box". Hope you know what that is. They usually don't get an opportunity to start writing letters back until the 3rd or 4th week and they can only write on Sundays. They receive mail every day but can only write back on Sundays. Feel free to hit me with any questions you have!!!! Best of all good things for your daughter!!!!!
1ProudMom,
