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."

Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Lydia, We are leaning toward taking the shuttle because of the size of this PIR group I think the line of cars is going to be huge & I hate to sit in traffic!

Kelly I think I am going to stay until 9/6 or 7th. Haven't made up my mind yet.

Kelly, They deploy next month. I asked him if they would give him one day off and he could take the red eye, go to the ceremony and then take another flight back to Seattle that night. I guess we will see. I have two other sons at home. One is 17 and has enlisted to go in the Navy next summer and then my youngest is 15.
