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."

Divisions 141 an142 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.

Since your recruit has contracted within the E-PACT program, the information within Professional Apprenticeship Career Tracks (PACT) Program will be of interest to you. There is more info in  https://www.thebalancecareers.com/fireman-engine-mechanical-apprentice-3345818 for you.

You will be able to enjoy extra time with your Sailor following PIR. Plan to leave late Sunday or on Monday if you are able to do that. (See PIR Day and Liberty during PIR Weekend.) 

Your recruit may discover his first duty station while in BC. If he does, then let me know where he will be stationed? What vessel, if one? I will have info for you.

Yes, my husband is in boot camp. He is contracted Fireman PACT (long story!) and is from Ireland so he he had many hurdles as a legal permanent resident in the DEP for 15+ months. Two weeks from PIR (3//15) and I am just looking forward to more contact- we have two children and this had been a tough adjustment for my 3.5 year old especially.

What division is your recruit in? If you do not know, then join DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in February or DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in MarchYou will meet others with loved ones who left the same week who may be in the same TG and have PIR together. 

I also suggest you join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and begin checking out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions there

Arrival and What Happens at RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening and what to expect. 

Be sure to join your PIR group once you get The Form Letter, which now arrives 9 to 14 business days after the recruit's arrival at the RTC in most cases. Let me know when you know what division your recruit is in. I will have more info for you.

Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!   

Head to “Settings” on the main page right away to add a profile image (no last names visible, please) and complete your Profile. Then - and this is important! - read these Community Guidelines and this Operations Security (OPSEC) Checklist, for the safety and privacy of all our Sailors.

Then jump right in!  Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.

Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.  

Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!

Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question. 

This site was created by the U.S. Navy just for you, and we look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.  

Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!
