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."

Just a reminder, posting in all caps is shouting and I really don't think you mean to shot at us.

Stay busy (start a new hobby or renew an old one), write every day even though you can't mail the letters until you or his family gets the form letter, start learning about what he is doing (see Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and the other Pages within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones)), and stay connected with others who are going through the same thing.

There is a group for 800 and 900 divisions. Go check it out. I was told you can post what, ship, and division. However, you need to check your privacy settings to make sure they are set for members or friends only. (I am new, just repeating what I have been told) lol
