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 som left yesterday from Las Vegas as well. I got my phone call last night around 11pm. I imagine they'll be graduating the same time. What's your son doing after basic? My son is going to be a hospital corpsman.

Hello. I got my call at 1am this morning, very scripted but it was nice to hear from him. He's going into PACT Airman-School in Pensacola.

So glad you didn't miss your call! The goodbyes yesterday were tough but I'm very happy for what lies ahead for our boys.

My daughter left yesterday as well. She left from St. Paul, MN. I got my call at 7:10pm last night. I just about jumped out of my skin when I saw her name come up on the phone. Today I am having a rough time. How are you holding up?

Its been an ok day for me. Ive got a huge knot in my stomach. The only thing keeping me going is knowing that he's bettering himself. What breaks me down is thinking about him getting down and me not being there to comfort him. Yes, I am that mom, he's my baby boy.
Thank you all for being here. I look forward to continued updates.
