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 son left for BC on 11/08/2011
I am looking to connect with other Moms who son's or daughter's may be in the same division as my son Sean. I miss him sooo much right now. I know the first week was all processing and that Boot camp actually starts on Monday for him. He looked so sad as he left on the bus. I know he will be okay, he is a really strong kid. I am just a typical worrying Mom.

He told us Jan 20th or 27th. those would be equal to 10 and 11 weeks out. Then I added in Jan 13 for 9 weeks. I want to get busy making arrangements! :)

Do you have your son's address?

no not yet. "the box" and form letter will be going to my sons dad. He will pass along when he gets it.
Unfortunately he is out of town so hopefully both box and addy will be waiting for him when he gets home!

Hi NavyBear7, we got our form letter today and his graduation is Jan 13! His little 3 line note on the back starts off with "boot camp sucks" (which sounds just like him) I know he didn't think he was going to play video games the whole time :) but he did end the note with "i'm doing fine though". I was just happy to see his handwriting! Have you received anything yet?
