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."

Tomorrow night is THE night for your division, calls on Wed afternoon! :-)
KJH,
I'm sorry to hear you evidently didn't get that initial I'm here call? If you don't get that first call (and not all recruits get to make a call for one reason or another) you probably won't hear from her until week 3 or 4. Do you know about the kid in the box and the form letter? Those will be coming next. However, your recruiter should be able to get your daughter's address by now so at least you can start sending her encouraging letters. It is so hard on us moms to have this total loss of communication with our sailors. Add to that the fact that we just don't know how they are doing. I'm here any time you need someone to talk to. I may not be able to make it any better but I can sure listen and understand. Just know you are not alone!!!!!!
KJH,
I see you joined the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you!!! We are a friendly, caring group of moms always willing to listen and support. I see you are new to Navy4Moms, is your daughter in boot camp now? Please feel free to jump in and join our chats!! We like to discuss everything from our sailors to our jobs, weather, whatever. It's also a great place if you want to yell, scream, vent, cry - - there is no judgment involved!!! Brag about your sailor but also tell us when you are hurting because you miss her so!!! And its a great place to ask any questions you may have. Looking forward to getting to know you and your sailor!! Again, Welcome Aboard!!!!
Hi, welcome to Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). I look forward to sharing this journey with you. Join the group, PIR 08/16/2013 TG 40 - 13 Divisions (299-310, and 940), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. I see you have joined MAA Moms; MA is a rating very dear to my heart since my Sailor is an MA. Join San Antonio MA's; the discussion, Break down week by week, will let you know what happens at NTTC Lackland (San Antonio). Other groups to check out are New MAA Mom's (it has not been very active) and Security Sailors (it is not as active and includes loved ones of Sailors from other ratings as well). The Rating Information Card for MA can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/ma.pdf. Take care and blessings to you and yours.
