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."

I am one happy mama
I actually got to speak to my son on Thursday. It was a pleasant surprise to hear his voice considering it has only been a week in a half since he left. He called because he needed some information and a copy of his passport faxed to someone at GL's something to do with his top secret clearance and info about his dads family. We had a few different conversations because he kept having to call me back because my fax was not going through. He seemed okay for the most part. He was able to tell me a little about his journey so far. I was 100 % relieved once I heard his voice... I still miss him but man not as much as I had missed him this past week.. : )
So It was actually a blessing he needed the info or I wouldn't have gotten to speak to him.....

My son left for bootcamp on Aug 20th, received his "box" home on the 27th and his form letter on the 29th. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the 1st phone call on this Sunday.
