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."

Were You All Able To Wait at The Gate? My Main Concern Is That Only One of Us Would Be Allowed To The Gate.

Our son left for BC on June 6th. We stayed at his hotel and then drove to MEPS. We decided to say our goodbyes at Meps(which was VERY difficult). He had his cell phone with him so he texted and even called us while we drove home. He took that time at the airport to call his sister, grandparents, and aunt to say goodbye. We texted back and forth all the way until his plane took off and picked it back up when his plane landed and he boarded the bus for RTC. About two hours later we got that 10 second call to say "he made it".

Hi there. My son leaves on the 17th as well. He asked me not to go to the airport. He also said if I go to MEPS, I am NOT allowed to get emotional, and if I am then I am not welcome there. LOL. We will decide this weekend for sure, but I truly want to see him sworn in.

NavyMomINx2, The no video at the swearing in might be a local thing. My son swore in today at Los Angeles, and there was no restriction on video.

I went to the airport with my son. The airline gave us a gate pass to sit with him at the gate.
