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."

I can't believe how overwhelming this feeling is. Spencer is going Wednesday to take his oath. I can't be there to watch this most important step in his life, and it's breaking my heart. I am 600 miles away. He will hear soon when he goes to boot camp. I am so undeniably proud and humbled, but yet so anxious, nervous, terrified. All of it. I'm on an emotional roller coaster it seems.

Thank you!  This is a whole new world...learning to navigate it!

We had discussed putting me on her checking account, but was advised against it because my other daughter and myself are on disability and the account would have to be reported as income/assets on me!   We had initially been told by her recruiter that she would be able to send me money from RTC! I've been crying all day now!

Hi Tiffany!  I'm a little scared I received a call form 847-688-4543 and I missed it. When I called back it was the RTC number.  Is this normal for me to be getting a call this early my son started boot camp last Tuesday.  Please help :(
