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."

Hello Dalton's Mom. Welcome to Navy for Moms. We are all in this together. To answer your question about "The Form Letter." You can can do a search on Google and type in: Navy Great Lakes. It should give you the Navy Great Lakes recruit Command. On that web site there is a lot of information regarding graduation, rules everything. You can even print out a parking pass. Here is the website: http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/staff/check_in.asp
When you go to this website, click on "Home," and then click on "Families." You can click on any of the links from the top.
What is your sons PIR date? Is it 8/6/2010 ? I must warn you too so that you don't freak out. I have been talking to a several moms/girlfriends and they have received letters from their sailors saying that they are being moved around a lot to other divisions. (but they keep the same PIR date).
On my form letter, and as far as I know. My son's is on Ship 12 Division 268. PIR Date 8/6/2010. My son has been at Great Lakes since June 15th. He called me to tell me he got there ok. He also called me on Sat June 19th, to tell me that everything was fine, and that he was happy. I have not heard anything from him since then. We are a very close family and this is the longest we have ever gone without talking. I definitely know how you feel.
Sincerely,
Sandy. ps...You can get your son's address from his recruiter. That is how I got my son's address before the form letter arrived.
