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 didn't find out until about a week before PIR that he was leaving Saturday morning. We spent Fri night with him, they have to get back at a certain time on Fri evening, so allow for traffic. Then they shuttled him to O'Hare at 4 a.m., some others went to Milwaukee airport, he didn't know which airport until about 4 days before. We met him at the USO at 8 a.m., he was able to get us a security pass, and we spent the day with him at the airport. His flight wasn't until 4 p.m. All I can say is be flexible, and enjoy this new life and the roller coaster ride that is life in the Navy.

Thank you, such an emotional roller coaster! He's moving into week 3; spoke on Sat. How long has your son been at Nuke, whew, that worries me too!

My son graduated boot camp 12/06/13 and had to be at the airport by 00:30 am on 12/07/13 or 12/08/13 to leave for Goose Creek, SC, though I don't know what time the actual flight was. We weren't able to make it to graduation because of the weather. He's now at Goose Creek waiting for enough students to begin a new class. They will let him borrow against future leave to be able to come home for over a week during the holidays. YIPPEE!!!!! I had to mail his cell phone/laptop to Goose Creek since I wasn't able to be there to give it to him at the airport.
Good luck!

I just double-checked my cell phone records, he shipped out 12/07/13 when his graduation was 12/06/13.
