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."

I just got off the phone with her I was able to talk to her for an hour and 10 minutes can you believe it! OMG I cant belive it, she was in the office entering in information for her background check and she was telling me about everything, they are doing good.. the food in not too bad, she is making friends, it is hard but she is making it.. She said that they do not make them go out if it is over a certain temp, she said that all the people pretty much get a long, she said that they are in the drill team doing flags, she said that she is part of the Nasty Nine, LOL cleaning the bathrooms :) aweeee... The best part was when I said do you know someone named Mckinsey and she said YES that was my bunk mate! I love her she is so cool and awesome, I wanted to cry how God works WOW....I am so glad to meet you and know our daughters are in this together, My name is Deanna by the way!

Hi McKinsey'sMom! Welcome to the group! My son Graduates in 10 DAYS!!! Yeah...I am pretty excited! I just wanted to comment on your statement about the pant legs being rolled up in your "Kid in the Box". So were my son's and I just couldn't figure it out. Until...I watched the Navy Boot Camp video. There is one quick flash where all the recruits have their pants legs rolled up and are stepping onto the special machine that measures their feet exactly just prior to receiving their tennis shoes. Then immediately after that, their civilian clother are stripped off and stuffed in the box for home. They don't even give them time to fold anything! Ha! It made sense after watching the video. It is on the home page here. Check it out. Welcome again! Glad you are here!
oh and ps. we are in spokane wa... i see that you are in portland. if i'm wrong again, my apologies. we love seaside, usually go there once a year. probably not this year as it looks like we will be going to graduation. my daughter is going to be a corpsmen....
i know it is really hard to figure out how to navigate this site. i think i "friended" you. my daughter left june 11 for boot camp. i was reading, (and probably wrong) that your daughter also left june 11? (still trying to figure it all out). but if it was you, you already had your daughter's info from recruiter? i was thinking about calling my daughter's recruiter. i think my husband would probably just say wait for the form letter...
I am doing better also. Unless of course I think about him. I still cry off and on but I'm making it.

Hello McKinsey's Mom. My name is Heather. I believe I was the lady that took a picture of you, your family, and McKinsey in Portland. My son also swore in on the 12th in Portland. If I am correct, McKinsey is going to be a Nuke.
