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."

Good luck moms. I still can't sleep! He is their's now. A lot harder than I thought. I received a call when he was at Ohare waiting for the planes, and he was so excited about meeting people from Conneticut, California...then 2 hours later I get the 10 second call, I love you, I'm here, gotta go. Ugh!
We are in this together moms. I know how you feel! This stinks. -

I got my phone call at 10:15 last night, slept with the phone, but i feel lucky I got a whole min. said his head was shaved first, and wouldn't get any sleep until tonight but he sounded good and said he was really fine. so proud of these boys. I have many people wanting me to thank them for their service and for being apart of protecting our freedom. Wearing my Navy stuff proudly. And of course waiting for the letter and hearing his voice again.

Tracy i thought I was the only one who has my cell phone attached for my body, I panic if I lay it down and realize i don't have it close by, I don't seem to cry all day but there are always times when I think of something or I hear a song that brings tears for sure. Wish i had a PIR date so I could start my coumt down. It is hard to believe that Wed. will be a week already. Hope your recovery gets better. Hang in there....Michelle

Thanks for posting this site, I feel a little closer to him knowing what he is doing each day. Haven't gotten my box yet wonder if he sent anything home?

Got my box of clothes this morning, have to say when I heard the Fed ex truck out front I felt sick, had to hold the box and cry for a while before opening it up. No letter or note check all the pockets. Think I might hold off washing his things for a little, Now I wait for my letter. Good luck to you mom's who are waiting for your box.

Yea I guess that would make you Freak, funny how all these years you never knew he was allergic to Ceclor (never heard of it before) were you able to talk to him?

Thought maybe you were able to talk to him that would of been nice. sounds like they are thorough. I wonder if my son has any allergies that we didn't know about. I'm sure they will keep him, if they let everyone go who had a allergy of somekind we wouldn't have much of a military.

Where have all you ladies gone? it has been quiet on here lately, I guess most of us are still waiting for the letter!! My dad is a retired Army and he said it's all about hurry up and wait with the military. Patience is a virtue. Keep your heads high, one week and one day down for me.
