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."

Hello all, I just noticed this group and thought I would join. My son's PIR is next week and then he will be headed to Florida. I noticed I live close to several of you (they few I clicked). I would love to be included in any get togethers if possible. I live south of Overland Park about 15 miles, which is about 25 south of Kansas City if that helps.

Shanarena first of all, this is a great group for getting answers to all your questions. I would caution you about listing any dates or names relating to your child or their travel itinerary. You want them to be safe and this website says not to for your child's safety and the safety of other sailors please don't list travel plans. I am not picking on you at all as you haven't listed travel info it's just a "be careful".
My daughter is at DLI and says its quite difficult lots of studying and continuous testing makes her sick at her stomach. The best you can do is be very supportive ;-). Good luck and welcome
