OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 report date is 9/23/2010
My son has to report to his recruiters office on 9/21/2010 at 6:30 a.m. for a report date of 9/23/2010 at Great lakes. It just hit me today that he is leaving and I won't see him for 8 weeks. I have been so excited and happy for him that it never really hit me that, although this is a good thing for him, I am really going to miss him a lot. Hopefully by next Friday I can call his recuiter and get his ship and division information and start talking to other moms who are in the same division what they are going through.
I am hoping that with the report date listed above his PIR will be 11/19/2010, although I suppose it could go to Thanksgiving week. I hope not as that seems to be a very expensive time to travel, but regardless, I'll be there.
I want to thank everyone on this board for the input and advice they give here. I have only posted once before but have read the forums, post and advice given here and have learned so much.
Thank you
Sheri

First of all - good luck! And everything will be fine. Here's the RTC website. http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/index.asp It's very helpful for keeping you in touch with what they're doing when in their training, and when PIR is (and if there are changes).
The biggest thing you'll have to look out for is your sailor's morale. Sometimes they start to get lonely or nervous or exhaused about 10 days in, but their COs can tell what's going on and keep an eye on them, but you may get some desperate letters!
And if you can go to PIR, do it! It really is an amazing thing. But don't count on having a lot of personal time with your sailor. Any plans, including leaves, can change at a moment's notice.

A word of advice.......go back to your profile page and take your full name off and use a pseudonym. There's a reason most of us have crazy names, and it's for security reasons.
