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."

Does anyone else have a recruit who left for boot camp on June 22?  My son left on that day & I was looking for moms who are at the same stage of this that I am.

I think there is another thread with the same topic Recruits who left on June 22 - I just wrote to Pammie - it's me again, Alex's Mom!
My son left on Wednesday June 23rd for Great Lakes. Where are you?
We are in Louisiana. Where are you?
We are in Mckinney Texas which is near Dallas. Where will your son/daughter go after bootcamp? My son will go to Nuke school in South Carolina.
He is going to Groton CT for Sub School. He is a MM.
Alex is going to A school in Pensacola for Aviaton Electronics
South Carolina is nice. My husband & I were stationed there when Justin & his sister were born. We lived in Goose Creek, SC
My husband left the 23rd, but his flight got delayed, so he didn't arrive until the 24th. I think he'll be in the same division, though. He's Advanced Electronics and Computer Field. His A school (and C School) are in Chicago. I get to join him in September. *yay*.
Do you know his division and ship number yet? Let me know when you do. My son will go to A school in Charleston South Carolina for Nuke School.
My daughter left on June 22nd. We are in Houston.
Do you know her division or ship number?
My husband left on the 24th. He's ship 7 division 283. I got the info early :-)
