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 mailman thinks I have lost my mind because I run out everyday to meet him. He said he is looking forward to the day I do get a letter. He feels very bad for me. He has known our son for a long time and I think he's excited as me to hear from him.

Does anyone know how long it takes before the recruits see a paycheck? I had seen that they get paid the 1st & 15th of the month. He has been gone since 10/23. Thank you for any advice

Got a letter today! He says its tough, ALOT of yelling! Still has a sense of humor. Says they live for mail! Says its great if you have had a hard day and you get to come back to mail! RDC made him the Division Section Leader so he said he must be doing something right. Said they have done extra PT everyday since they have been there because some of the SR's just won't listen so they all have to pay for it! Says hes making alot of friends and really likes his rack mate. Says hes hoping he can call soon but hes not expecting it. Closed by saying he appreciates even more what he has left behind and can not wait to see us on the 21st! Now my heart can finally stop aching for awhile!

I am still figuring out the site and how I post things, so my apologies if I ended up posting in the wrong place.
Just wondering when we might hear from them for the first time? Do they get to call after a certain time. My son, Austin, arrived at boot camp Oct 24th. -

Our son also left on that day and we are still waiting on a call. We got the I'm here call and that has been it, my husband is telling me no news is good news but when you see all the other families saying they got a call and we haven't it makes it harder. Can't wait until the 21st to see him .
