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."

Our first trip to Hawaii to see the Reuben-James return after 6 months asea this past February 2008. Awesome is an understatement - Goosebumps, lumps in our throats and misty watery eyes best describes the feelings of seeing these fine young men return home to their loved ones.

Many of you who are joining this group have a recruit in a 900 Division. The USS Reuben-James was decommissioned 18 July 2013. This group was for those who actually had a Sailor on that Naval vessel, not the “ship” (barracks) at the RTC. The Page, 800 and 900 Divisions, within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will be of interest to you since you have a recruit in a performing division.

Looking for other moms of div 924 PIR 4/25

SD was my sailor's favorite base to date. Good luck to you and your sailor!

Very happy that he's in SD!!! It's a 10 hr drive or I can take a puddle jumper from about an hr away so a lot easier to visit.

Do you like the idea that he is back on the main land? SD is another great place to visit.

My son was transfered to the Makin Island in San Diego

Where will she be stationed since the decommissioning?

My daughter is on this ship

I try to keep in touch with him, but he's been busy and not communicating very much, that is probably the hardest thing about him being so far away from home.....
