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."

Hello. I am a veteran mom with a son who had a SEAL contract. As you will eventually find out, spec ops divisions are a bit different than the other divisions. I am glad to help with any questions or support for this very bumpy ride. Best of luck to your sons.

He will leave for BUDs in April and that is where he will stay for quite awhile. BUDs Orientation BO is 3 weeks long, then each of the 3 phases is 7 weeks. HW is in week 4 of Phase 1. Once your son gives you a leave date you can figure out the timeline from there. Good news is that they should be home for the holidays next year.

@sjtina...Thanks!! Yeah, its already a bumpy ride!!! My question is, my husband said that once he's in budsprep he'll have internet and phone access (after I mail him back his cell phone.) But do you know, how much assess they will have? Obviously they are still in training, but do they get time each day? week? is it given as a privledge earned?

Travelbugg he will have nights and weekends to use his phone. Internet connection is hard to get, but they seem to find it. Usually near the windows lol. Its a wonderful thing, you will be able to talk to him everyday. Are you going to PIR? You can take all that stuff with you and give it to him then.
