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."

Goodnight Betsy, Hugs. I still remember you being the first person to get on this discussion and saying at the time, I can't wait until we get more moms here. Have we got some great Moms or what. Tell your husband how sorry I am for keeping you away from him while you had to babysit me. I truly appreciate it. God Bless You. Kathy

Good morning everyone, Sorry I missed last night, I was cracking up with all of your comments. It was Jens last night so I couldn't get on here. I will be dropping her off at the recruiters this morning. It's what she wanted. Basically as long as mom is still there, she is not getting on with her life lol. I'm okay with that. I was so glad to hear all of your positive comments on how everything went with your sons and daughters. I'm definately feeling better about today. Just focusing on the future.
Thank you all.

It was really great to read all of your posts - - so glad everyone has been checked in and phone calls were received. I def. know what to expect tonight when he calls. Hopefully, I will feel somewhat better. At least then, we can start the countdown to PIR!! This has been an unbelievable experience. I did not even imagine what it meant for me when he signed up for the Navy. What a life altering decision. I am very proud of him and all of our children. God Bless them and us during these next eight weeks!!!

I feel like i missed the party last night....but it is great reading your posts it makes me soooo hopeful that everything is going to be ok. I have to take Taylor to his recruiter's office at 3 for final paperwork/check in and then to the hotel at 6ish, it sounds heartless but I'm ready to get the show on the road and start moving forward again. These past 2 weeks have been trying for me, I have felt like the most important thing to Taylor has been hanging with his friends and ditching his family, I know everyone deals with things differently its been somewhat hurtful for me, hopefully he will have a moment of clarity in BC and realize who has been right in front of him all along. Maybe my emotions have scared him and going with his friends have helped him get through the past few weeks, who knows....uuummmm, I'm just ready for him to get to that "boot camp place" hahaha
