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'm so glad you got to your son on Saturday and he felt better. She said their RDC allowed the calls hoping to boost morale. It's so hard hearing them upset. I pray they have a better week.

Thanks for the warm welcomes @babbs and @Rachel-E's mom. My husband and I are going to be driving out from NY so not sure if we will make it to Great Lakes in time for the meet & greets but we will sure try our best. From what I have read Sarge's is the one to attend.

My son Christopher is in 330 and i received my first letter last Tuesday plus he was able to call that same night for a second to see how we survived the hurricane. The first letter i got was very emotional didn't talk about boot camp much just how much he missed me and his brothers. Saturday he earned a 15 min phone call so i talked to him a little longer still he was very homesick he did say he was doing well in his training i'm counting down the days till graduation i miss him so much. After boot camp he will be going to Pensacola for A school for 17 weeks and don't know after that he goes to C school but i don't know where
