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."

Have you received a call from him yet? You should get a 10 second call letting you know that he arrived. It is my understanding that within the next week or so, we will receive a box with their belongings and then shortly after that you will get a form letter with all of the information on his division, graduation, etc. I think the hardest part of all of this is not being able to know how they are doing. I can't wait until we can start hearing from them.

Skimom3 I agree. This is sooo very hard. I recieved a mussed drop ticjet today from FedEx. I hope ut us his box. I am going tomorrow to get it. I recieved my call. He also left a message on his voicemail for me, so I can hear his voice and hear him telling me that he loves me and to have a good nite. :(

KayeGee That is so thoughtful that he left that voicemail! I can't wait to hear my son's voice....I had a dream that I got to see him last night. I didn't want to wake up! I have not received his box yet and am very anxious for the form letter! Hang in there....we can do this! :)

I received my call on Tuesday evening that my son had made it to GL and that I would be receiving his box in a few day. That box arrived today. I live in Indiana so it was quick to get to me. He also said that he should be calling in about 3 weeks and I will also receive his form letter.

Received our box today. Not going to lie, that was tough. It was everything but him and his Bible. Only 56 days until graduation...not that I'm counting!
