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."

I am from Illinois so I am not too far away. I talked with my ex and he said he would inform when he received anything just in case our son can only send one letter. So, I have not heard any information about div or ship numbers. He left on the 21st also. Hope to hear soon. Take care and know how blessed you are.

Hello!
We will be looking for the mom/wife/GF etc. who will be interested in creating the 01/27/2012 IPIR group.
Someone who’s recruit arrived on 11/21 – possibly the 28th or 29th. (Not sure if the decided to “finish” the TG before Thanksgiving) So ladies, if it is something you think you'd be interested in...Friend me and send me a message.
Right now I am seeing some of the moms who’s recruit arrived at RTC on the 21st and 22nd are receiving ship/div numbers from their recruiters. One of you would be perfect for this!
Please remember that when I post dates of when your SR may PIR...it is not exact. I am basing it on the earliest reports and making an "educated" guess on the cutoff date for a TG. BC can be anywhere from 7.5 to 9 weeks. Your recruiter may have your recruit’s ship/division as early as 72 hours after arriving at BC. I will take this ship/div # for the purpose of starting a PIR group BUT please wait for the form letter that your recruit will send home to address your mail and send it. The address your recruiter gets oftentimes is incomplete or has too much information that is not necessary for the address.
Thank You!
