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 is 19, only child--single mom who probably coddled him, emailed teachers k-12 to make sure he got everything done...nagged him incessantly....he was in gifted classes, low gpa in high school,-- worried to death he is miserable, not "getting it".....this no communication is rough on this hovering mama....on the up side, there was plenty of yelling at home, he should be used to that part??? am I the only one feeling that? really missing that boy

Got his box last week. No letter in the mail for me today. Maybe tomorrow. Looking forward to reading (if I can since his writing looks like chicken scratch sometimes, lol) his letter. I have many waiting to be mailed. Hang in there. It will be coming soon :)

Good morning all St. Patty's day moms, sending wishes to all of us who have not received "the box" yet. Possibly today. Hopefully we will get our form letters this week as well. Fingers crossed! Enjoy your day!

Hello to you, MamaRete. Beautiful day with sunshine and warm weather (the 60s that is). Mail hasn't came yet. But, yes...I'm keeping my fingers crossed also.

Yes Lunchlady, my son also arrived on the 17th, I have not received the box yet. Where will your son be attending A school? I am also new to the whole military life also, been a dream of my son's for quite some time now, he was supposed to have left last July but an injury prevented it.

I'm going to send you a message. My son wanted to enlist after high school. We wanted him to go to college for a year to make sure because he was got a scholarship to the university. He made it to his 3rd semester and decided mid way that was it. He was on the Deans list. I'm happy for him. He was so scared to tell us what he wanted to do. Afraid he would disappoint us. How could he? This is the direction he wanted to take. We are proud of the man he has become. Look for my message.
