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."

To watch the PIR, either live or after they are done, go tounderneath the big video will be smaller videos. Click on the most recent ones on the far left. The dates of the graduations will be posted.On the official Navy website is a neat segment about boot camp. www.bootcamp.navy.mil Click here to view the updated "Faces of Boot Camp" 2013 video. It gave us a good understanding of how our kids are living, what they're doing and what's coming up.

We will be attending!
I did get a letter yesterday- short but sweet. Dated 10/20, she said her flag changed to Oklahoma, and could change again. She said that "tomorrow is the beginning of hell week" I wish all of our SR's luck and strength!
I sure hope to hear from her this weekend!

Thank you so much for sharing that you got a letter and they were doing better. Also glad our girls know each other. The earliest in the week I've gotten a letter is Friday so I'll keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow. I sure miss her! I'm looking forward to meeting you all at M&G. Hope everyone gets a call too.

Still no letter today, shucks but will keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow. Does anyone know if you send mail and the sailor had moved on to A school do they forward their mail. Just wondered if my letters take as long to get to Shelbi's as hers do to me? Have a great weekend everyone!
