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."

Made it through the first 2 days
My sailor boy should be in his 2 full day of Processing now. his call home went to his Dad, at 2:30 in the morning. Really wish he'd have called me. Probably good he didn't, I would have had way to many questions and things to say.
Miss him so very much already. More than I thought i would, I thought i was ready for this... NOT. LOL
I am very excited for him though. Am now awaiting the "box" to arrive.
Thanks for all the great info on this site.

You may wish to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Mom's, PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. Watch in Boot Camp Mom's for information about the PIR group and join that when it is formed. You will find lots of information and support in those groups.
On a technical note, your recruit should be referred to as SR or recruit while in BC. He should only be referred to as a Sailor once he has completed Battle Stations-21 during his last week at BC. You could also refer to him as your future Sailor, but that is generally for those in DEP.
(Group names within this comment are clickable links. To join a group, click on the group name and when the group page opens, click on "+ Join..." in the upper right.)

My SR only has 2 weeks left and I have been up and down. I have had 2 kids go away to college so i was unprepared how emotional I have been. It does get better and getting those letters are the best part. Just seeing how much they have grown in such a short time is amazing. I cant wait to see him at his PR
