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."

Hi Beth - just wanted to say what awesome talent your son has! I know that all the guys in 10-11 are very proud of those shirts. I shared Zaksgranma comments on wanting one of those shirts with my son and our 10-11 facegroup. Everyone was so excited to hear that comment. Thanks for the encouragement Zaksgranma!

Hip Hip Horray for Zak! I know that feeling. It seemed like after my son passed RLP everything else was down hill. He seemed a little more at ease after that when we heard from him. The only concern after that is that he might get an injury that would delay him. He actually started out with some physical challenges right from the beginning because he got a nasty stomach virus 4 days before he left. I had to take him to the emergency room for dehydration and then when he got to OCS he immediately got a sinus infection and was on antibiotics for the first couple of weeks. He stayed the course despite all of that and passed RLP too! What can I say "I'm a very proud NavyMom" He obviously has great determination but... I know that prayer had a lot to do with it too!

You're welcome, NavyMom. My son told me the professional ones he ordered will be much better, but I think these are okay too. Evidently, the professional photographers do a real sales pitch to get them to buy a big photo package...they reminded him that Mother's Day is coming up, etc. ha

Hi Zaksgranma! Yes my son is in the 10-11 class. We just ordered our sweatshirts - so looking forward to wearing them like a very proud Navy Mom.
