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 left for BC 7/20/15.  Fedex tried to deliver "the box" today but I was not home.

I just got mine too but I missed it.

This is a reminder for anyone who has not received "the box": If you have to leave home, leave a signed and dated note for the FedEx driver to leave a box or package from GL.

Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening and what to expect.
