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."

Boot Camp starting September 16 Any Others
My daughter just left for boot camp on September 16, just wondering if there are any other moms that have sons or daughters that left the same day. I am trying to network with some other moms as we go through this unknown situation. I have so many mixed emotions going on....I am PROUD, sad, terrified and most of all upset that I can not help my daughter through the tough times that lie before her. If anyone else has kids that just left for boot camp, please connect with me.
Thanks,
Cheryl

My son left sept 17th from Pittsburgh pa. I got the call that he got there on wed night. Lasted about 30 seconds. I'm a wreck. It helps to know others are experiencing the same thing. Does anyone know when PIR is? I'm trying to make travel arrangements. Thanks!

My son left 9/16 from Seattle. He sounded a little stressed on his "I'm here" call. I hope he was just tired. They tried to deliver his box today, but nobody was home...bummer. They will try again tomorrow.
