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 Cindy....I just emailed you back but in case that didn't go though, yes I was so excited to get the call from my Sailor!! He sounded great but of course tired, as you can imagine. How about your son? When did you get the call? We'll be there very early Fri. am...how about you?
I'm glad you got your letter too today and that he also is doing great! My son said he should hear soon where he'll be going, he can't wait either. That's great that your son will be going with a lot of the guys he already knows. I wonder if our guys know each other even though they're in different divisions?
You going to the meet and greet? Like I said if we do, we have to find a hotel that is pet friendly cuz there's no one to watch our dog anymore. I would love to go, but I have to see. Anyways, I hear ya!! I am sooo excited for graduation and sooooo excited to see my baby again, I can't wait!!! Yup we couldn't wait for him to go either and now we can't wait to see him!!! Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I know for my Matthew the Navy will be the best thing for him. I'm sure for your son too!!! It's time he found his way!!!
Hi Cindy....thanks for the link. My plan is to finally sign up on facebook tonight. I just got home from work and am tired now. Well I didn't get a phone call yet but my husband, myself and my mom all got a letter today and it put me in such a good mood!! He sounds very upbeat and happy and says he's doing really well! Says he hopes he can call soon. Did your son call yet? I talked to one mom today at work and she said her son only called once after the first night they got there so I know it's hard for them to call. Anyways I can't believe only 2 weeks left, I know we all can't wait!!
Goodnight Cindy....I hope our sons call us soon, I'll keep my fingers crossed!!
I know how you feel, I'm dying for him to call too!!! They will call us soon, we have to believe that and think positive!! :-)
He will see what he wants to go into after taking these classes for the 3 weeks at GL and then get placed at his base.....
That is cool!!! I'm still confused as to what the apprenticeship program is, but I know he will stay at GL for 3 weeks, but not sure what he'll be doing there. When did you know he'll be going to Pensicola?
I'll join FB tomorrow, too tired now but when I do I'll check that out and if you can think of any others on FB for me to check out, let me know please. In the mean time please keep in touch, I'll look forward to it! I'm going to check out that PIR sarges page now to see about the meet and greet. Hope to hear from you soon and thanks again for responding, I feel much better now!! Hope our babies call us soon, they probably will!!!
I mean what's the A school?
