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."

Hi All - met with a group of "veteran" Navy Moms (and Dads) yesterday to watch the Navy/Army football game (Yay Navy!) and we were talking about boot camp. They all reminded me to tell SR the importance of BS21 and how TEAM WORK is crucial.....I guess from what they say they are very tired during this test and it is important that they STAY AWAKE and help keep each other awake!
Also remind them when they call home after BS21 for the "I'm A Sailor" call to let you know if everyone in the group passed. Just in case some aren't able to make the call and mom's are wondering (or in case you are on the plane to Chicago and can't get the call!).
When you hear from you SR when the BS21 date is make sure to send a private message to diannep as she keeps track of all this. Hopefully we will start hearing soon when it is!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! We are ONE DAY CLOSER!

I pray that God lay his hands upon each of our Sailors this week and the days to come. I just ask that you lift them up Lord and give each of them the mental and physical strength necessary to pass each of these tests. Lord, you know their hearts, minds and bodies better than we do and can fill each of their needs. Lord, you also know the needs of all of the loved ones here Lord. I ask these things in your precious name. Amen.
I know that God has taken us to it and He can get us through it. Prayers for our Sailors!! :o)

I am not sure they will start this week since there is no PIR this Friday. They are doing maintenance on the ship so my guess is that they probably won't start until next week. Even anyone has received BattleStations dates from their SRs, please private message them to me. Thanks!

Let's keep the prayers and positive thoughts going for our SR's as they head into this final week of BC. Keep sending letters of encouragement as they prepare for BattleStations. We are ONE DAY CLOSER!

Nukesmom*** Thank you and I know that God will handle everything for our SR's.
I'm a bit brain-dead today. Mom came home from hosp Friday, she was not well enough to come home, back again today with heart issues. Giving it to God to take off my shoulders. He is the only one that can heal her and knows her needs. Much Prayer needed right now for many different reasons.
I know that we all will be receiving great news in just a few days that we have "SAILORS" & no longer recruits. AMEN and Praise God!
