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."

That's exactly why we are driving up from Texas.  I do not want to chance something to happen with the flight especially that time of year.  I missed my son's first call the night they arrived.  I was devastated - even though we spoke at both airports before he went to the base.  I was so excited to get his box of dirty clothes and the form letter.   He made his first call yesterday.  I have had that dang phone attached to my body every minute since he left.  I had it in a backpack on my back... by the time I got the backpack off and opened, I had missed the call.  I broke down.  People thought I was having a nervous breakdown and I guess basically I was.  Luckily he called back immediately and we were able to talk for about 20-25 mins.  It was wonderful to hear his voice and hear the strength.  He already sounds so grown up.    Hopefully 04/018 will be a positive change and he'll find life long friends.

you're child will be in my prayers.  This is a great site.  It's been extremely helpful.  But I guess since this is your second round that you have a good understanding of what to expect.

Hi Yulontay1.  I invited you to be friends if you are interested.  What groups have you joined?  The info is a little overwhelming.  Our PIR is 11/21 so I booked our hotel reservations today.  SO excited.

What is your Sailor's rating (job/specialty) and/or where is he stationed (what vessel, if one)? There may be groups I can direct you to.

I see you have joined your PIR group; I also invite you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) there. Take care and blessings to you and yours.

Yesterday 9/23/14 I sent my second son to the U.S. NAVY. this time was the worst and maybe it was because this was my youngest son. I think the Navy has been one of the best things that could have happened to my children. Yes boot camp is hard but it is worth it in the end. You will be so surprised when you see how 8 weeks will turn your child around. Best of luck to all. Just remember support to ur recruit is what they will need during this time so send plenty of letters
