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."

There is good news with that bad news; his pay began from the time he was sworn in even though he did not fly out as originally scheduled.

My son left May 19. It has been 4 weeks and 2 days. Each day is different. Everyone said it gets easier, but really I just think you learn how to handle it better. It is hard to see them leave and have no idea when you will hear from them. But you will get their box, and then you will get their form letter with their handwriting and PIR date, and then -in a few weeks - you will get a phone call, and then soon after you will receive letters they write, - so you have plenty of things to look forward to. Then - there is PIR and time for hugs. Stay busy but keep your phone close and be writing letters so you have them ready to mail when he sends his address. My son said he loves mail call. (I was not sure he would appreciate the letters.) Be positive and encouraging. Hang in there. We can do this for them!!!

My daughter arrived at boot camp on June 17, 2014. I am very proud of her, but cry every day hoping she is adjusting and doing OK. Can't wait to get a letter from her to hear how she is!
