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."

Son Shipped today 10-24-2011 (anyone else)
Hello everyone,
I am new here. My 21 year old son (my baby) left for the Navy today. I am so very proud for him ! But the other side of that coin, I miss him like crazy already.
He is very strong and will do well. He and I are very close.
Dear lord, this is so hard.... I just cannot quit thinking about them being in his face, yelling at him, belittling him, making him feel stupid.... I know he will be fine and I know he will be a much stronger individual after he does this, I know this is the best thing for him..... I guess I am taking it hard...
Anyway, I know I am rambling.. sorry :(
Even though I dont sound like it right now, I am VERY excited for him and his future . :)
Lucy

Sorry I have been MIA for a bit. I have had a few situations here, my husband had to go out of town on business and then two of our dogs went missing. Needles to say, I was feeling pretty alone.
I am better now. I called the recruiter Thursday, he said he didnt have an address yet, that it would be next week, maybe Tues or Wed. Then I saw that some of you had addresses, so I went by there Friday, he told me the website they look it up on, did not have his info yet, he said they could call Great Lakes, but they could only do that Mon - Thurs. uggghhhh I just want his address......
