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."

I haven't been on here for a while, but keeping up with the conversations. I haven't heard from my son in a little over 2 weeks now. I was getting a letter every week, but now nothing. I'm hoping he's just really tired or focused on preparing for battlestation. I know if something was wrong I would get a call...right??

Can't wait to meet you all too. I am so anxious right now waiting for my call.

Terri, My son said in his last letter that their BS is Monday. I guess expect your call Tuesday. Very exciting!
AMom, how cool. My son earned a call for inspections, but never made it.
Less than a week and we'll see our boys/men.

Hey everyone! I was just on the recruit command fb page, and guess what? Taking top honors in the captain's cup is 806! They won!! I am so happy for our boys I'm crying. Does that even make sense? Congrats 806, so proud of you guys!!!
It mentions that they may get to make phone calls, but as usual, not a guarantee. It all depends on the RDC's time slot at the phone center.
