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 left on 9/10/2013. I would love to connect with other moms who have children who left around the same time. This has been very hard for me. I have cried a lot and just want to know how my son is doing. I am just so ready to hear his voice. I received his box of personal items on Friday. I am so looking forward to receiving his address, so we can send letters from home.

My son left of 9/11 as well. FedEx tried to deliver the box yesterday, but we missed it. Left a signature and got it today. His younger brother was so excited that he couldn't wait for me to get home to open it.

My son left 9/12 does anyone have their sailors address yet? The recruiter told me that he should have it by wednesday but as a Mother of another sailor I know that he already should have it.

I don't think it's out yet. My son was sworn in on 9/11 but flew out of San Diego on 9/12.

My son also left on 9/12. Just got his address from my recruiter today, the same day I received the box. Call your recruiter and ask him he should have it by now.

Knowing not everyone received a call that night helped tremendously.This has been a long 5 days for me. I'm sure it feels even longer for him. I brave today and everyday knowing he is braving it even more! This is going to be quite a journey and I'm so very proud of him and all of our children and all that have went before them! Love and hugs to you all!

Our call came at 11:45pm on the east coast. I'm just glad that I kept the phone on. We would have missed it. No idea that they would have called that late.
