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."

My little one has been away at school for 4 years. She has been in Chicago and I live in West Virginia. So her "kid box' went to her roommate and not me. I don't have the "physical" withdrawl that some of you Mom's are experiencing but it sure difficult to know that I can't call or email her whenever I want. I didn't realize we stayed in touch so much until now! I also worry about how difficult bootcamp is for her. Not an athletic girl by any means and not particularly disciplined!! I find myself saying little prayers all the day through for her and hoping and praying that she is doing alright! Both of her Grandfathers did their boot camp at Great Lakes.

teresa - Did she send her Form Letter to her roommate too? They only send one out and it has her mailing address , her PIR (equate graduation) date and all of the info for PIR...Pass-in-Review...the ceremony at the end of BC.
Here is the PIR group on here that you can join to get information about Boot Camp, PIR and to connect with other moms, family members of recruits at BC. There will also be "veteran" moms (moms who have been through thie) to answer questions and lend support. Please join!

Thank you very much, but she did send her form letter to me, and I have joined and am relying heavily on the information and support from other Boot Camp Moms!

Yay! It's good to join your PIR group. You'll be sharing all the ups and downs with the moms of recruits who have the same PIR date.
That being said...it doesn't mean you leave BC Moms...you just add the PIR group...so you can connect on both places! Eventually some add the rating (job speciality) group their recruit is going into and so on...more fun! LOL -
