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 son arrived today. Yesterday and part of today I was weepy. He called to say he made it. I'm sad, but proud of him at the same time. This is so hard!

It is a strange feeling, the feeling sad, yet proud. Weepy, but happy for them at the same time. I feel a little crazy at times : ) or maybe it's menopause? Lol. It would be great if our kids end up in the same division!

Soon we will have "the box" and " the letter"! Can't wait! Then we can at least write. We will feel more connected at least.

My son left June 18th from TN. "The Box" arrived on Friday of last week, but I was not here to receive it. I did get the phone call the night he arrived, but the background noise was so loud, I didn't understand one word he said :(

All he sent home was his cell phone, charger and sunglasses. They were in a pair of new tube socks (?). Don't know where he got those, but on the tag from the sock he wrote "love you". Made my day! Looking forward to my letter and first call!

My son left June 15 th. I received the box today because we had been away for a wedding over the weekend. I can't wait to find out when his PIR is. I am hoping for Aug. 10 th. it will be interesting to see if my son calls us again because he is not a " caller."

Hello Reno Moms,
Just to update Gabe left yesterday. It really helped to see Kelly's post about when the call arrived. Now I will stop fretting.
