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."

My Son Leaving is Leaving for Bootcamp 1/23/2020
Bootcamp on 1/23/2020. He seems to be ok & ready to face this next phase in his life, but I’m a little anxious. I’m super proud but I’m not scared because I know he has a good head on his shoulders.
Are there any other moms with a child leaving for Bootcamp on 1/23/2020?

Know we are all in this together, feeling the same way. It is terrible hard to trust their welfare to the unknown but set your mine on the outcome and the opportunities they will now be given.

Good Evening Ladies.....We are in this together. I’m waiting on my “Mom I made it call” & I know after that I will not hear from him for a few weeks and I know that will be the toughest part.

I just got a text from my son that he landed in Chicago. Not ready to lose that communication for awhile. I’ve already started the letters so I can send them when I get his address

Hang in there ladies! Remember, you won't get the official letter for about 9-14 business days. No new is good news!

I’m right there with you ladies. My son got to Bootcamp on the 22nd. The no communication is the hardest part for me. I have to keep reminding myself no news in good news.
