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."

Son left August 29th-anyone else have a recruit that left then?
My son left from KY on Wednesday the 29th. Called us about 7:15 pm their time and was already at RTC. Hopfully that meant a somewhat decent time to go to bed. I rememeber when I 1st went to BC and we were kept up almost all night.

My fiance left the 29th, I got the box on Friday. I live in Chicago though and live about 30 minutes from Great Lakes so it doesn't take long to get mail from there. I am still waiting on the form letter and PIR date. I hope I get it this week since I have 7 letters waiting to be sent!
