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."

Hang in there...even though I knew to expect my child's call last night, I still wasn't quite prepared for the sound of his voice. He was very calm, though I could hear a certain amount of (expected) anxiety. Hugs to you!!

My son is with yours now!! He just arrived about the same time as yours. It was so hard watching his siblings say good bye. Our youngest (also a boy) is very quiet and withdrawn today. He slept in his brother's bed last night . . .

That's sweet. Little brothers sure look up to their big brothers.
I wonder how late we will get the call? -

Ours sons must definitely be together -- I am waiting patiently (or not) for the call. We got a text before he flew out, but nothing since. He flew out this afternoon.

We got a few texts before his flight, due to a flight delay because of weather? Then I got a text from him when he landed. Nothing since . . . but saw on facebook that he called his GF right after he sent me a text :-/ I'm trying to be ok with that. I know he will use his *i'm here* call for me.
I know our guys don't know each other yet, but it sure makes me feel better to know that they are together.
Sounds weird, but I'm sure you all know what I mean.

Ok, ladies. Recruiter gave me ship 11 div 026 - anyone else have theirs yet? I know sometimes they change...

My recruiter said to wait a week to call him. He told me they were having lots of issues with their systems due to the shutdown. Maybe I will try him Monday

I'm hoping things are worked out there. It's hard to wait. I want to send him letters, but I don't want them to not be delivered, lol!
This waiting and not being able to talk to him, or even text is driving me crazy!!!
