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."

Anxious Mom
Good morning. I am new to this forum. My daughter left for boot camp on June 13 and I have only received one call from her letting me know that she wont be able to call until 3 weeks and that she is going to send me her phone and other belongings in the mail. Its been almost a week and I have not received a package from her. I don't even know what group she is in. I did hear that on Sundays they will be able to write and send letter which I really hope is the case because I need to hear from her. Sorry for the rambling, I just miss my baby girl.
