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."

Thank you! Your information was very helpful and I will check out the Wikipedia article as well. I am trying to learn this site, and will also check out the Boot Camp Mom's area if I can find it :)

Hi, my son arrived at GL last Thurs. 7 /13. I am in the same boat ( so to speak) as you. It is all about research and contacts. I have found an over whelming amount of information through N4Ms. Even learned some acronyms. My son will be in awe of my ability to use the net.
We should be receiving the box and letters soon. We are all here to support our military kids.
I look forward to talking to parents (moms) in my sons group as well as others. Maybe ours will end up together. I look forward to finding out.

I did receive his box and form letter last week. He is ship 12 division 293. Is that the same as your son? I am getting much more familiar with this site and have found lots of helpful info and have had some great responses to my question. What a great web site!

Kristi - I run a NavyDEP website, I had a couple of my members write what they did each day. Here is a day-per-day of what is happening. Remember, yours may/will probably be off a day or two. The reason, for example, is you can't have everyone in bootcamp at the pool doing their swim test on the same day, or, the gas chamber. So everything is shifted to make room for everyone, but it's all within a couple days of this one.

The reason it ends at 6-5 is they were in a "push-unit". But everything that happens up till the 6-5 days are mostly the same....
