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."

Whoop! Whoop!
Just got our first real letter! She has not lost any of her sense of humor! She has made so many friends that it was too many to list. She said her favorite thing about BC is that she has found strength she didn't know she had! Well, I knew she had it in her, but I'm her mom so.....
Oh, she loved the "fill in the blank" BC questionnaire I found on here.
I hope all moms get letters too!

Hi Everyone!! I finally found my way back to this page somehow, I am very computer challenged and my helper is away :(
My daughter is also in this group and graduating 11/27/13 and she too Is staying in GL for A school. Thank you to mrs. Peacock for all he help and "friend" request and to lemonelephant for all her help. I got a call from my daughter tonight which she said is their last mandated call, the privilege to call home will have to be earned by the group from now on so hopefully they will all come together!! I also rec'd 2 letters (finally) today, she said they can write letters on sundays and the mailperson just passed their test and now mail is finally going out so hopefully everyone will be getting those special letters soon if not already. My daughter sounded good, she said the best and worst part is the ph calls home and the cards and letters she gets because she misses us all so much - 4th box of Kleenex down!! I'll have to go shopping this weekend. Hope to meet you ladies in Chicago!!!!! All For One & One For All!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate not being with her for this, the thought of her in pain and I'm not there to make sure she Is o.k. makes me worry even more then normal !!
