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 got my form letter yesterday. No extra letter though). Oh well at least he passed. Will your recruit be graduating on 11/16/18? That is the day my son will be.

Comment by NavyGfJackie on October 10, 2018 at 11:58pm

Yeah he graduates the 16th of November as well! Don’t worry though you should get a letter from him soon!

I am SOOO happy too - I finally got my first letter too! My daughter left Sept 26th and received letter yesterday Oct. 11th. Those were the longest 2 weeks ever! But longer for her of course. How did you guys find out graduation dates?

Comment by NavyGfJackie on October 12, 2018 at 11:41am
You find out when you receive whats called Formal letter. In that letter it has graduation what division they're in and an address for you to send letters. Have you not received that yet?
Comment by NavyGfJackie on October 12, 2018 at 11:58am
i had read on here to count down 9 fridays to make the days go by faster and when i received the formal letter his graduation actually was the 9th friday. So if your daughter left the 26th most likely her graduation date will be the 23rd of november.. BUT wait for formal letter to be 100% sure.

A 10, what division is your daughter in? The Divisions for PIR are posted at http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/tg_grad_dates.html. I also left info on your My Page to get you started.

There is no PIR on 11/23/2018. That is the Thanksgiving TG so PIR is on Wednesday, 11/21/2018.
