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."

My AD son is only a few months ahead of yours - he graduated Pcola in April and is stationed in Coronado, CA. While I miss him physically, he still calls home almost every day, he emails, and face books his friends and we're in constant contact. After some time pushing papers, he's finally "touching" helicopters, his choice of planes. He's refueling them, washing them, and other misc. duties. I think he's pretty happy there.

Hi sheshe and mom. Your sons will be ADs?

Hi my name is Cindy, our son is also in p-days right now. He will be starting training Monday as far as we know. I miss him like crazy, he has been my sidekick for 18 years. I feel lost without him - too much food in the fridge, not enough laundry to do, no-one to be crazy with. I refuse to go into his room. I know he will be fine and I will encourage him and stay positive for him.

Ha-Ha---I remember that! One of the mom in our PIR group almost ran over the cat getting to the phone. The story was so funny it brought tears to my eyes. Hang in there the letter will come. :)
