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 would also have to say my son is very handsome as well, plus he's a big flirt.

Happy Mother's Day! I wish my son could have called today, but am telling myself that calendars are not allowed so my son has no idea today is Mother's Day. And as I told him before he left, boot camp is about training us moms too! lol

In my sons last letter he wrote about his "brothers (and sisiters)" in his division. "The guys here are great, we help each other out and everyone is part of the team" Something you should know is that my son is not one to throw out compliments. He is loyal to his friends and family. Thank you to all of you for raising such awsome children. You have done a great job and it shows!! :0)

Hi All,
Just working my way around to the different forums. My son is in div 217. I'm anxiously awaiting that call we are suppose to get at the end of BS. Anyone know when that might be. He has only given me bits of information in his letters. Also is anyone going to the meet and greet with Sarge on 6-6?
