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."

The only call we have recieved was the call saying he was there, 20 sec. long and like your son said he would call in about 3 weeks but nothing. I really wish that a call would come. We have so many questions that need addressed and we have no answers. This is diffently not what the recruiter had said or the information on the Great Lakes website.

I am sorry you ladies have not gotten calls from your SR. We did only because he needed additional security information. I am looking forward to Chicago for pre Christmas. I hope there is not to much snow, maybe enough to be fun but not to snow us in at the airport. We will miss our son this Thanksgiving, first time without him. Everybody enjoy Thanksgiving.

I just got a call from my SR, it was only 3 minutes, but it was needed. He is doing fine. He is wondering why it is taking so long for me to get his letters he said he has gotten about 30 of my letters. I hope evyone else has gotten a call.

I am new to this and really excited to see how other moms/sons are doing. Isn't your son also Ship 11, Div 37?
and I think that i read where he was a Seebee and going to Gulfport for his A school. So is my son. We got our first short phone call the other evening. He said he is allowed to come home after graduation and doesn't have to fly out until Dec. 30th! (happy happy happy!). I was wondering if you got the same information. We are from Ohio and will be staying at the Marriott Courtyard.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours would have been better if we had recieved a call but I have completely given up any hope of that happening. Just counting down the days until basic training is over.
