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 left Tuesday, September 25th, from Boston. Any others out there?
Would like to connect with other families that may have had a sailor leave from the New England area yesterday. Please let me know if you had a sailor ship out yesterday. Can't wait to get my letter so I can write to him.

I am in SC but my son left today from Portland, Maine.
I was told that they would take a few days worth of recruits and put them together.
We shall see.

I got my box today. Good thing my husband had to take my younger son to ball practice as the tears started again. I got news from my sons recruiter that her cleared medical. Now I am just waiting for the letter or more info from his recruiter. As for my little doggie....that picture was taken in January of this year. He is a saint bernard and is enormous now. Somewhere on this site they said we shouldn't post pictures of our sailors so I had to pick the next closest thing....Hope you are hanging in there and we get our letters soon.

My son left on the 25th so hopefully you will get your box soon. I am waiting for an address and his graduation date. With the Thanksgiving holiday in the mix I am hoping for either the week before or the week after. Airfare is sooooo expensive during the holiday period. Stay strong and good luck to you sailor.

My son arrived at GL on the 26th. No box yet. I hate to ask but is no news good news when it comes to them staying? I am referring to anything medical. He made it through all his physical stuff at MEPS. His weight was not an issue but I have seen a few posts from moms talking about their kids being sent home for medical reasons.
