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."

Hi there. My son left on May 19th and I too got the scripted call as well. Try not to worry because from what I've been told we don't want to hear from them right now. If we do that means that something is wrong. I'm holding on to the "no news is good news". Big hugs and just know they are doing good and are very busy.

Your son and my daughter must be in the same time frame for graduation. I can't wait for that day to see her. Let me know when you get a letter from your son. Also, is there a chat room for kids that left on the 19-20th of May? I love to chat with moms that will be at that graduation.

Right now you might be interested in these discussion groups:
DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in May
and
Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones)
Once you receive the form letter there will be a group for your Recruit's division.
Note: Leaving on the same day does not necessarily mean that two Recruits will graduate on the same day. See Ship/Division--How it Works

Thanks for your reply. I miss her so much it is unbearable! She was told she did not need calling cards but I will get them and send them. Where did you get the cards, I have never bought them before! Luckily I live 20 min from Great Lakes Navel base!! Im going there for 4th of July to see the fire works. I hope I can tell her by then that I'll be close to her that day.
