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."

Yea finally received the form letter.. He graduates 11/10 as well..He is Ship 12 Div 369..Any fellow recruit families? Also, since they are graduating on Thurs, does anyone know if the "grad and go's" will wait until Sat or still leave on Fri (holiday??) Please let me know so we can start making plans...Thanks...Update on Son #1..He is headed for Groton CT this weekend for his other A school. We were so hoping he could go to his brother's graduation. Well when he does get to come home we plan on going to see Son #2 in Pensacola for his A school. Wow, I think I finally need to buy a planner! Have a great week all :)

Join the group, PIR 11/10/2011 - TG 52 8 DIVISIONS (367-372, 823, 952), to connect with others who have loved ones who are training with your SR. The term grad-n-go is outdated and they now use the term Friday and Saturday departures, which is a misnomer when there is a PIR on another day besides Friday. Those staying in GL for A School move across the street on the day of PIR and those flying out fly out the day afer PIR, but sometimes they fly out later due to flight availability issues--only your Recruit will know when he will fly out and that could change even while he is at the RTC.

My son left yesterday for BC. I got the call around 930 last night that he was at the base. We are from Boston. How about you?
