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."

Thought it might be nice for everybody to say where they are staying for PIR as a means of knowing who will be in the same place, taking the shuttles, carpooling, etc. and maybe even getting together…Continue

Hi ladies! I'm so excited, I finally got my first letter. It was a whole 2 pages, which is a lot for my son - LOL! Besides he writes so small I need a magnifying glass and my bifocals just to read it. He sounds great! He sounds very happy. I'm so happy for him and proud of him at the same time. Thank you all for your support and the wealth of knowledge and information. Now I have 2 more kids thinking of joining the Navy, but it will be another 4 years before that happens.

No Penny, he’s off to California on Saturday morning - he said around 9:30 a.m. That’s why we were so hoping he’d get to stay with us and since it sounds like that doesn’t happen, Friday may be our only time with him- if he can, aside from the airport.

Marchel, if your recruit is grad n go back to Great Lakes, they have to check out of their ship after graduation and then check into their new place of residence there. They say that typically takes 4-6 hours and they usually allow the recruit a phone call then he/she is ready for pick-up.

Appears that div. 058 is also now receiving letters...so it appears that div. 057 is the only one we haven't heard from thus far.

Do you think we’ll get to spend anytime with him on Friday after graduation? He seemed to think we would. He said he’d have to check out after PIR.

Found out that my daughter was on duty tonight, so she couldn't call me! Will she have to skip this call or make one up? I'm bummed!

No letters and no phone calls but still happy for those that did. (Really! Maybe!! Okay, I admit I'm envious.)

A mom in our group http://www.navyformoms.com/group/ship11div058 posted she got a letter today!! None for me, but my mail always takes an extra day even on the sunniest of days. Went and got my Christmas cards to send to our division after work tonight. Was feeling pretty good, then came home to the Christmas tree laying on the living room floor, with ornaments all over the place thanks to the cat and dog. Trees destroyed, and that was all I had done so far for Christmas. Not sure if I should start over or just accept defeat....
