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."

Hi Jennifer, My son left for boot camp 2-22-12. I received a phone call that lasted about 12 seconds at the most,just to say that he arrived safely. I haven't heard anything else. It's so hard not knowing what he's going through..

jenniferzcracy & harvey30263, I see you have both joined the Boot Camp Moms group - so you are off to a good start. You'll meet up with others whose sons/daughters left for BC at the same time. I left comments on your personal pages. The survival guide will give you a overview of the process and it's a resource for links, diagrams, pdf files. Be sure to watch the videos. You'll be getting the box really soon (look for his cell phone in one of his shoes). Then the form letter with the official address. Your next call or letter may not come for a week or two, so don't panic. Be patient. Good luck and thank your sailor recruit for us.

They get a one minute phone call to let you know they've arrived safely. My boyfriend called 3 weeks later and told me they get a 15 minute phone call every 3 weeks.

My son is ship 02 Div 923 and they were told they may get to call every sunday. He did call less than a week at BC but so far nothing today. He left a message on the machine Fri but I think it was about security. So it depends, somethimes you can get calls more often. Hope you all get calls soon.
