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."

It's fine, she knows she has your love and support. "The box" will arrive in the next few days and then The Form Letter will come and then you can send letters. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.

Hugs to you Cuka...my son left a day after yours. Our kids are going to do GREAT! I just know it! Hang in there and start writing letters even if you can't send them yet. When you get the form letter, then we can mail all those letters we started writing.

Hugs to you as well. I started my letters :) I must admit that this, thus far is my most difficult "mom experience". I know our children will do great. Lets keep in touch, since I live in Illinois, I kind of expect my box fairly soon. My fear us that I will throw up on the poor Fed-Ex delivery person...lol.

Ladies, we are fortunate to have this place, I know my husband is struggling, but he doesn't quite get my feelings...and cannot "fix" it, so he is at a loss.

Nadine, I left info for you on your My Page.

Nadine, it's nice that you are writing, but remember recruiters don't always have the right address and letters mailed before getting the form letter don't always arrive much faster, if at all, than letters mailed after receiving the form letter.

Yes I get that, dang it but I'll be hopeful

Nadine, I hope to see you in Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in June.
