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."

Hi just checking on you, keeping you and your son in my prayers, stay strong.
Thank you for adding me as a friend, I will send you a message with my phone number call me if you need to talk. My son has been in the Navy for 8 1/2 years. He has also done some dumb things, but, we get through it together. Just know you and your son are not alone!
hugs, Sandy H.
Chantily just wanted to let you know my prayers are with you and your son, stay strong and have faith. this too shall pass, it will work out in the end. take care
I'm right there with you Chantily. I, too, am a fourth grade teacher here in Oregon. School got out for me on the 5th and Luke left June 11th. I'm having way too much time on my hands. It doesn't help that he's my youngest, so I'm also going through empty nest! I think it will be easier once I hear from him.
At least on of the pics is division 936.
You will have to ask your Sailor for his flight itinerary. He could fly out of any of the three airports. Send him an index card about a week or so before PIR so he can write the info down for you. There is more on that in PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend, I tried to reply to you in BCM, but Phil's post is slowing things down so that I couldn't; I sure hope Colleen gets rid of him.
We are flying into O'Hare on Thursday.
Welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. When did or will your future Sailor ship to the RTC? Take care and blessings to you and yours.
