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."

Hi jtacaj
Sorry I missed your instant message. So you went thru Marine boot first too. I know it would be a lot different if it was my daughter and not my son. Our daughter has no desire to sign up. Our Marine is in CA wating for his school to start and he was just switched over to the field he wanted so he's happy about that. What is your Marine doing?
Yes 055 and 056 are orange scaves. There are a few gals making them for sale or you can make your own.

My son has been in the Corps for almost 3 yrs. He is in CA now too. He just got back from Afghanistan in November. He did make it home just in time to see his sister before she left for bootcamp. My husband was in the Marine Corps for 12 yrs. Both kids were born at Camp Lejuene, NC. So we knew what to expect. My Dad was in the Navy and went to bootcamp at Great Lakes Too! The last time I talked to Carrie, she said she was having a blast! She was expecting bootcamp to be as hard as Marine bootcamp haha.
I'll make the scarves for me and my 11 yr old, we are the only ones able to make the trip.
Its a small world, Carrie's bunkmate is from Louisville, KY, thats where I grew up. And her house is 3 streets over from the street my Mom still lives on! So if anyone is from Valley Station area, contact me!
