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."

Just rec'd an email from my LO. Flooding was not an issue at OCS. Thought I'd pass that along.

Thanks 2 in the service. I really needed to hear that. My other son is on the IKE. Not a flyer though, so he is okay. The crash they had there today just hits a little too close to home.

I wouldn't worry too much. There aren't any rivers near the base (that I saw) and the flooding I've heard about has to do with the rivers in RI. I also think it is up north, closer to Conneticut.

Glad to hear all this about the flooding, I was wondering the same thing. We're still pulling for you guys in 14-10. Time's passing...good luck for the next phase of OCS. 13-10 is getting excited, but are still very aware that things can change on a dime.
Rebecca, glad to hear your other son is ok. -

Had a call from James - he passed all of his midterms. His group is getting excited but still very much aware that anything and go wrong. They are all watching out for each other. No flooding at the base. He is Drill Body so they are practicing for unit competition is about 1/12 weeks. Reported that everyone is doing well.

Heard from James. Passed all exams! Yeah :) Still working with unit members for next week drill competition. Also another personal inspection in liberty (dress white) uniforms next week (week 8). Monday on week 9 will be final PT test. Keeping up good spirits and looking forward to being a Candio.

Hey guys, new to this site. Been following 14-10 discussions on a broader page, good info, but great to be here where many of us will meet/greet come May 7! Got excited call from our LO who passed all mid-terms. Sounded so much more grounded and not as exhausted. He's on the Hi-Moms committee, in charge of video, I think, so he's ballancing focus on what still needs to be done and the excitement for that event. Check in with you guys from time to time--and glad to be here! Bring on week 8. Keep those thoughts/prayers pouring in for this great group. Annie.

Welcome to out group, Annie. We are also on FB, just look for OCS and you should find us. It is great to have the N4M site to share info and find out what to expect for our LOs. My son in going into NUPOC and there is also a site under groups for them - have found out a lot. See you in May.

Glad to hear things are going well for your LO's! Keep up the encouragement - they will find things becoming more challenging as they progress through this phase.
