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."

Not only did I get the phone call this morning, but the 1st real letter comes home. It so reads as if he is in camp with the 1st sentence "Boot Camp is great". LOL He said 369 is a talkative group so they are getting a lot of IT. And his friends that he has made are all from California. I'm still laughing from his letter. He also said the food is good too.

I found the Days Inn in Libertyville. Little more than the Navy Lodge, but I was able to get a bigger room, since there will be 5 of us coming. Also went for the "pool" phone is 847-816-8006. They also have one in Waukegan, but they are about the same distance from the base.
I found lots of hotel info in the form letter that he sent home. This also has free breakfast!

TheRocksmom...same thing happened to me at work yesterday....i saw that 847 area code and I ran outside the front office. Scared me to death at first, but he laughed and said "they told us we're supposed to call".....ha ha I kept saying what's wrong, what's wrong? Are you okay? Sure was NOT expecting that call so soon. Then a letter in the mail yesterday. Great day. My son is Div 369. He sounded good, and his letter was upbeat. Silliness all in the letter, just like him.
He will be going to Goose Creek after boot camp. Any other Nukes in Div 369 or 370?

I knew my son would hate the whitie tightie underwear....so I promised him yesterday that I would bring his boxers for after PIR. His response was, "Mom, most of us aren't even wearing our underwear ".... cracks me up! He said their PFA went okay, but all of the "motivational exercises" (IT) they have been doing are making the body a bit sore. He said they have had no mail yet- BUT they see the stacks of letters sitting there for them. They should hopefully pass mail out soon. Poor kids, it's taunting them, I'm sure.
