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."

Raylene, is there graduation from A school too? We go to PIR next week and I can't wait. I am hoping my son will get to call home on Thanksgiving. He is supposed to go to New London, CT so that would be quite a trek for a graduation.

Hi Vicky- I know it's a bit of a drive, good news is that we're not too far off Jackson Highway and everyone's invited (if you have your grandson and/or anyone else). Hope you're able to make it on the 6th.

Hi Nor. Cal Moms,
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving week. I frankly will be happier when Dec. 18th gets here! I don't think I have been more excited about Christmas since I was a little girl. Tee-1sailor's Mom, Which div. was your son in? Chrissy started in Div. 258 then PIRed in Div. 292. She was a section leader. I missed the M&G at Flanagan's because I didn't want to take my grandson, we went to a McDonald's near the hotel for dinner.
Yeah, I hate driving in the snow, I used to live up the hill in Pioneer on the snow line (3500 feet) then after my divorced I moved to Sutter Creek.
I am going to try to make the Dec. 6th M&G, so hope to meet some more of you all. Navy Hugss ~ Vicky aka Chrissy's Mom

Oh no, Raylee, so sorry you missed it! But you did get the weekend, hopefully your son ordered the DVD. Not the same, I know.

There is a November Boot Camp Family Group with 183 members.
http://www.navyformoms.com/group/novemberbootcampfamily
You might want to start a group "Ship 10 Div 066" or wait until you have the PIR date. A lot of groups for "PIR"

Raylene, that is awful. I would have been so heartbroken. As it was, I was very afraid we going to get stuck in the long, long line of cars trying to get on the base and miss it. We made it though. Vickirun, my son had PIR 8/21 too.
Bea, that looks so sad, that poor cadet.....

Yeah they have breakfast @ 6 am, nothing to eat or drink after breakfast until PIR is over. I thought the woman fainted because she was dehydrated, but Chrissy said it was because she locked her knees.Besides the fainting, the ceremony ws wonderful. I love the flags and the music. I was so proud of her, I thought my heart would jump of of my chest! I will never forget it!

Wow, I was really off because I saw those folks at PIR doing that (going up and down the rows) but i thought they were checking for people who were not at attention or falling asleep or something.......gee, I'm a Goober.....didn't see anyone faaint. (I gotta do some acronm checking too)
