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."

Hi Navy Moms! I'm new to this group. My cousin's PIR was 9/24 and his A school is in GL. He's graduated into an Fireman E-3 and will be going to A School to become a Electrician Mate. Anyone else?

Yes yvone, you can send him his phone as soon as he gives you his new address. They will give him chores and stuff to do, duty and watch until school starts. He goes thru cetain phases and earns more privileges.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this group my son PIR'd on 9/2 it was so awsome to see my son, now a MAN, walking, talking,thinking different. I have been in my 9/2/10 PIR group and now that it's over I kinda feel like a lost puppy with no home. lol
We just arrived home last night, so I'm still feeling the after shocks of the GOOD BYES =( although it's been nice because he has called me several times. =)
This is what I know: he packs things up tonight (he's still in BC barracks) van picks him up tommorrow 6am to take him to "THE OTHER SIDE" as he calls it. His school starts Sept. 20 for HT, now what happens?? Will I be able to send him his phone?? What will he do for 2 weeks til school starts?? Please if any one has any info it would be greatly appreciated..Thanks
