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."

My son left today as well. I talked to him at the airport about an hour and a half ago. He seemed in great spirits. He was getting a Starbucks coffee.

@3tboys I'm sorry to hear that I would be very upset also and would not be able to sleep . My son called at midnight Texas time. I hear if they don't have a cell phone or there cell phone is dead they don't make the call sometimes unless they borrow somebody"s phone if they can . I hear there is no phone banks in processing. I read somewhere on here that they still get to make that call in the next two days. I don't know if that is correct for sure . I believe I read it on the information area of this group Boot Camp Mom. . .
