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 left on Tuesday April 4. we received "the Call" at about 10:00 that night. It is hard, but we will all get through it. I have many mixed emotions as I am sure that you do.

My son arrived in Chicago yesterday, and we received "the call" around 10:50 last night. I had another crying moment this morning. So very proud of him, and yes we will get through it, slowly but surely..

My son left this past week as well. I have friend requested a couple of people in similar situation so I hope we can all talk. I am so nervous because bootcamp seems so initimidating, I know my son can do it but I don't want him to give up. I just hope he has the confidence in him that I have!

Well it's been 4 days since I dropped my son off, and I too am nervous about bootcamp. He was so ready, but even so, I still worry about him!
