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."

If your son goes tonight... that might be good news for my son tomorrow... Keep me informed PLEASE on what you find out tonight... and THANKS!

Keep the communication channels open ladies... so we all know what to expect. I told my son that the only thing worse than him leaving... was him NOT leaving (for him) after all this time. Hopefully THIS spending has already been accounted for.

I've read that the military is good, that training and recruiting is still going on. We definitely would have heard something by now if it was different. Cooked my son's last home-cooked meal for a while last night. He is definitely my son -- wanted spaghetti. We are all going out for dinner tonight, with my dad, brother, stepmom included. Then to the recruiter tomorrow. Trying to stay strong. So proud of my future sailor!

Oh yes that would be worse than leaving...not leaving or postponing. My brain an nerves can't do another roller coaster ride. I'll keep you posted if we are all still a go when he goes in at 3. Central time.

THIS is what I read on a DoD site this morning:
"There is a real chance that boot camp, A-school and some fleet training could be dleayed."
Let's hope for our young men... that this will not happen.
Spaghetti here too :)

I just read this -- it looks like training goes on, but after boot camp if this shutdown continues, our sailors may be delayed going to A school.
