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 son left 1/28 as well. Got the call he made it there safely late on Wed night 1/28. Received his box yesterday. No form letter yet and I'm trying to be patient! He will attend A school in San Antonio after.I have no idea where my son is in the process. Hoping once I get the form letter, I will have a better understanding.

I got the box today. I thought I'd feel better when I saw it, but I am so sad. It's ridiculous. He's not hurt. He's just working hard, so I'm not sure why I'm so weepy. His paperwork looks like his contract might have been changed from what it was when he left the house too. Oh well. I'll found out eventually. I just need to be patient.

My husband got there Wednesday as well. Received his box Monday (: still no form letter. He will be attending A school in the great lakes. So we are all still in the dark about PIR and addresses.

I guess my son actually got into Chicago Thursday evening. I also got the box today. I don't expect a letter for another week or so. Hang in there.

Hey! You're from Ohio too! Isn't this waiting terrible? How long have you been married?

He may be finished with P-days or he could still be waiting on others. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.

It's driving me crazy not knowing where he is in the process. He got there late in the week so I'm guessing that he may gotten a full division, but who knows. Does Saturday count as a P day? I was need what Monday was with the snow day.

No, Saturday and Sunday are P-HOLD days if the recruit is still in P-days. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.

Thanks so much for the info. It is so helpful. Do you know if Monday was a P day or a P-hold day due to the snow?

Snow does not affect training or processing. It was a P-day or a DOT.
