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. My son is in SHIP 04 DIV 810 PIR 04/13/2012. I just got approved today to become a member. Have you heard anything from your boyfriend? What job is he going to do after boot camp?

No, I have not personally heard anything. I know his parents got the form that they send with the address and a quick note and all i got out of that was a "hi" haha. but have you heard from your son? And my boyfriend is a rescue swimmer

We got the "box" and the form letter with a short note on the back. His name is Parker. He said there's alot of cool guys in his division and that he missed us. I hope he gets to call and even more than that, I hope I'm free to answer the phone when he calls.

Hi, I recently joined Navy For Moms and I have been trying to contact someone whose sailor graduated with my son. I tried to order a DVD from NEX and I just missed out. Do you, or any of the other families you may be in contact with, have the DVD? What has your sailor been doing since graduation? My son is graduating from Diver Prep on Wednesday and is headed down to Panama City at the end of the week.

Teddyandpameaves : Yeah I agree! I think if I can recall correctly, that they get a phone call the 2nd or 3rd week but I am not sure. I know I personally probably won't get a phone call until later down the line but Matt's family is great and they keep me updated with everything. I am so excited to hear from everybody and it makes me happy that there seems to be a good group with them ;)
