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 son leaves for BC on the 18th from OKC, OK. So many mixed feelings right now. Trying to cram as many fun family times in as we can with the little time we have left.

Christina,
My son left Great Falls, MT on July 16th. We are very proud of him too. He had been in the DEP program for almost 1 yr before leaving for BC. I really hope the boys are doing well. We have only received the "I made it safe" call and the box with his belongings, as of yet. No mailing address or other phone calls. How about you? Any word from your son? Natalie

My son left for bootcamp July 16th. We haven't received the form letter, just his belongings, at this point. I can hardly wait to hear how he is doing. The anticipation and worrying are getting the best of me. I can hardly sleep and I am finding myself crying pretty often.
