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 is leaving June 13, 2019 so I'm looking for some current recruit families to converse with.
Thanks

I got my call around 10 ... we are in Alabama ... He sounded good. I was glad that he didn't sound upset. It made my heart feel better. He is our youngest as well .... so our home is going to be so different. I am just gleaning from the different groups on social media to try to be informed as we go. I have already started his first letter. As soon as I get the address, I'll mail it out! Counting down the days for sure! Looks like maybe August 9th will be our PIR. I am praying for no setbacks for our guys.

I got my call on the 13th at about 10pm (I’m in AZ). It was so hard, I cried for like 20 minutes after! I understand why they do it but it felt so robotic :(

My daughter left on the 11th, so that’s pretty close. She was in DEP for only 2 1/2 weeks, so I worry about her not being prepared enough. But I guess our kids survived P-week.
