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 am so ready for our phone calls today! It was so nice talking to my son on Saturday. He sounded so good. His status on facebook Sunday was In Recruit Heaven watching football and eating junk food..very good day! It made me happy to know that he enjoyed at least one day in boot camp.

I guess they have computers in NEX or recruit heaven that is what my son called it. They apparently have been doing better and they had an easy day Sunday.

They can purchase computer time after BattleStations. That is when some get on FB while they are waiting for the phones.

What a wonderful evening at Sarge's meet and greet. We had a great time. Navy families are the best. I recommend this for any family coming for PIR. Sarge is a lifeline 24/7. Now it's time to get some rest. IT's been a long day and tomorrow will be very busy.
