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."

Is there a website that you can see "real time" photos of boot camp
Hi...I am a first time military mom. My son just went to Boot Camp March 22 and I was told there was a website we could go on to see pictures of them. Does anyone know if this is true and where it is?
Thanks!

Watch the five videos. It will give you a really good idea what your recruit will be going trhough. PIR stands for Pass In Review (Graduation From Boot Camp).
CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING:
New Video "Welcome To Boot Camp - Processing Day" (Navy Live) (click here)
New Video "Return To Boot Camp - Reveille" (Navy Live) (click here)
New Video "Return To Boot Camp - Physical Training" (click here)
New Video "Return To Boot Camp - Preview of Battle Stations, PIR" (click here)
New Video "Return To Boot Camp - Battle Stations, PIR/Graduation " (click here)
You won't find a "real time" video of your son at BC.

What ship and division is your son ladyjeolives? Josh graduates May 13th, but left the same day as your son, I wonder why they have different grad dates. We got a letter from his captain that had a brochure with hotels in it. I know there is a Ramada Waukegan Gurnee in Waukegan, IL. There is also a "newly renovated" Super 8 in Waukegan that you can ask for the "Navy Rate" It's at 630 N. Green Bay Rd. Their rates start at $53.99. Ramada is $83.
