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."

Good Morning Donna!! I am glad you have joined N4Moms and posted a question. But I left a message on your My Page. You posted this question in the General Discussion and it is not as likely to receive a reply as if you will post in the BC Moms group that you just joined. Here is the link again to that page, https://navyformoms.ning.com/group/bootcampmoms
Be sure to scroll all the way down the main page until you come to the comment wall, after the discussions. This is where we do most of our chatting and share information with our newcomers.
If your daughter left on the 19th of Oct then tomorrow will start her week 4 approximately. Hopefully you will be receiving the "form letter", nothing personal but her mailing address and information from RTC, by the end of this week or next week. It has been taking an extra 2 weeks to have an address for your SR (seaman recruit) than what we had prior to quarantine. The BC Mom group is where you want to go to share your concerns, frustrations, good days and bad days.
Hugs, the time of Great silence is hard but we tell everyone, "No News is Good News" because it means everything is moving forward like it should be. Phone calls have not been as regular as they use to be, so you never know when or if a call will come, but answer all calls and then hang up if it is a phone solicitor.

Hi Gigi's mom, sorry I just saw this. I am rarely on the computer at home because I am on it all day at work. I hope you have heard from your daughter by now. What Division is she in?

Hi Donna,
She is in Div 058. I have heard from her and gotten a phone call last Wednesday. What about your daughter, is she doing well? What about her div?

Hi,
She is Division 54. We had one brief call the Saturday after Thanksgiving.. She sounds like she is doing well. Her division has gotten some extra ITE because they are having some difficulty working together. Hopefully they have gotten together.
I am hoping everyone who is supposed to graduate 12/17/20 remains healthy and graduates on time. I am even okay without a phone call if it keeps them from getting sick.

I am ok with that too! There is a group that I have just requested to join, https://navyformoms.ning.com/group/pirdecember2020 It is a group for our PIR month. Fingers crossed that everything will go well!
