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."

Cristinab...My grandson left on the 13th also. He left to fly in for boot camp the same day my husband and I left for Chicago for my son's graduation from boot camp on the 15th. This time around was easier for us as I had a son already go through boot camp four years ago. It is very hard not to hear anything but I will tell you this time was different than our first son. I got three phone calls from my son from boot camp, where with my first son, I only got to talk to him once and he had to earn that call. It will be easier once you have a mailing address and can send letters. Just keep yourself busy writing a letter everyday. It will go by quicker thank you think!!! And maybe you will get extra phone calls too!! Chin up!!
