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."

My daughter left for BC on Dec 14th. I recieved my phone call at 2137 that night. I felt like my life was over. I dont think I have ever been that sad. I cant remember a day in her life that I havent spoken to her. She told me that she didnt want me to cry for her but pray for her instead. She told me that she was gonna be fine. I believe this. Called the rec. today no info yet on an address. I am very happy that I am not alone in this. This website is very helpful and cant wait to talk with other moms.

I know what you mean. I can't go to sleep as I feel lost without seeing if he is safe and sound. One of many long nights I'm sure.

Yeah! Just received my daughter's" box" of clothes. Recruiter called me also. She said the address they have is just a temporary one. They are in a temporary holding area until Monday. She'll send me the permanent Ship and Division# on Monday. I'm so happy just to get her clothes and stuff. And her pants legs were rolled up. LOL
