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."

Update since my son joined the Navy May 30th 2012
Good news!! My son graduated from boot camp October 2012. Since then he has graduated from A school for Navy Corpsman / Medic training and C school for combat training. Monday he reported in at the Greater Lakes Navy base to begin working in the RCU where he was treated for stress fractures while in boot camp. He is loving being one of the staff members now, and already saw one of the doctors who treated him last year. Just know if you have a recruit in RCU, my son actually might be able to meet them. It was difficult for him, yet he perserved and now he is so loving life. It's been a year of sharing his living quarters to now having his own bedroom without having a curfew. Sometimes, it's those little things we take for granted that are so important later on. We thank God for the blessings he has bestowed upon us. Sending prayers for all while thinking about Memorial Day and God Bless our troops and America! :-)

Dearpeggysuecory,
Thank you for the update. My husband graduated from BC in GL, IL on May 3. He went to HM Corpsmen A school on May 4. He will be graduating sometime in Sep. I also would like him to come back to GL, because i am here. I would rather not move from Chicago, so i am praying and hoping that this is the orders he will get. he told me that he put Chicago, on his dream list. However, he would like to continue advancing his education. I do not know what are the possibilities in the Chicago area? Do you or your son, know anything about it? I would really appreciate your answer. Please pray for me, us so he gets to come to Chicago!!! Take care and good luck to your son, God Bless You all!!! Marika.
