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."

Omg..I can't believe I found you on here. I am the one that sent you the pic while they were at maps! They looked at me like I was crazy when I asked for your number but that picture gave me a sense of calmness bc they all looked so happy! Apparently, your daughternumber and myI son have been going to dep together as well. Just to let you know, they were really excited and ready to go yesterday which made me feel much better. I went to mcdonalds for them while they were there, so they got their last fry for a while! She is a very sweet girl. I am getting ready to join the bootcamp section now so look me up and we can compare notes!

Hi Kim! That is awesome that you found me :) I was so happy to get that picture! And yes I agree, they all had big smiles on their faces! Unfortunately I didn't get the call last night :( Her father and I are divorced, so I think she didn't want to show favs and just sent us both a text "made it to bootcamp. talk to you in 3 weeks".
Thanks for sharing about their perspectives yesterday!
One of my co-workers had a son who just finished boot camp last week so I've been 20 questioning him to death! If you have any questions, let me know!
What is the name of the bootcamp group??
