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."

Julie, Will they send everything home. My son had a small address type book, with his bank account numbers, routing number, etc for setting up direct deposit. Along with addresses. Kris

sometimes the address books come back...I usually suggest to put addresses and phone numbers in their wallet. If the address book does come back just mail him the addys he needs as well as phone numbers. (yes they do forget phone #'s)

Hello all! I am also a mom who's son is in bootcamp. It's been 11 days (12 since I put him on the bus to New Orleans) since we got "the call". We got his letter Friday and have since sent out oodles of cards. We're not sure he'll get them by this weekend but hoping. One question, why are their PIR dates all different? My son's is Jan 7th. but his division is the same as all of yours. I know nadda about how to navigate this site. I've been a bit frustrated...started the site when my son got his contract package, but got frazzled, left and when he got the phone call he was going in earlier (by wo months) I freaked and tried again. I decided to wait until I could find moms/wives who had loved ones in the same division as my son. Now I have and hope to hear from you all. My son's not only a new recruit, he's a new husband and father so I would love any information that could help out his family and me! Thanks so much!
