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."

Oh, that's right, their petty officers call everyone by their last names! Too funny! And I do agree I like to keep our SR's anonymous, Some of our boys will maybe start to know each others first names, but they'll probably mostly use last names like guys do.

I'm trying to keep track of the moms & girlfriends of our SR's in 09/024. I've started a list so I can keep everyone straight. It would be nice to have the SR's names too, I wonder my son has made friends with. I don't even know yet who is bunking next to him, my son isn't very detail oriented!

Don't worry...yes they are "rules" but try to think of it more as safety for you and your future sailor...this is new and that's why we veteran moms stay on...so we can help...yeah...I'm being the "post police"...but it is to help you...not get on your case...I know it's just because you don't know. This site is public and anyone can read it. FB allows last names...don't know why.
Crystal it's okay! I also edited the one with your phone number..
Ladies, most don't find out the first names of each other until near the end of BC...if they do!

My stepsons name is John. He is one of the tall ones. He was so surprised when I asked him this past weekend during our call what he thought of always eating last. He just laughed and aksed how I knew about that. He is 18 as well. Maybe he knows some of your sons/husbands/boyfriends. He also said that BS21 in on tDec 18th. If that helps anyone.

Great news the 2nd letter I got Kyle told me he went up in Rank and that = more $. I guess they have to make it worth the sacrifice. But it does give them a boost. Hope Kyle isn't sick, he is down as it is.
