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 SR will be 19 4/15 and is from Arizona although she was raised in NJ so likely would associate that as her home state! She's headed to HM school in TX after PIR.

Hi ladies...My son is also Div 179. My husband got to talk to him this morning. He told his dad he is a squad leader. Made his dad's day to get to hear his voice! We have another son who was in boot camp this same time 4 years ago. He wound up the RPOC and watching him march in carrying that sword at graduation was something I will never forget! I also have a step-grandson leaving for boot camp the same day we fly in for graduation! I am very proud to have three boys in the Navy!!

They were being allowed to make calls to finish up info for the paperwork and his was already done so the person allowed him to make his call anyway. He did get to make a personal call to his wife on Saturday and then I got to talk to him for a few minutes before his time was up. It is so different from when my older son was there 4 years ago. They did not get to make any personal calls at all unless it was an earned privilege! My older son had a few things to say about that which I won't repeat here! lol

Jake had his done already. He was SIQ and now on LD due to the stitches. My other son was down for a couple days when he had his pulled. And he did use it to sleep!! I don't understand why they have to have their wisdom teeth pulled. I don't know if they do it to everyone or just the ones who need it.
