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 one of the older recruits. He is 25. It's nice to meet some of the moms of the recruits in my son's DIV.

Sorry did not get a call today (sun.) got a call on fri night. He said that they are going to be moving a lot faster so he's not sure when the next time he can call. I'm just happy that I have heard from him this far. Since he said in the beginning that he was only allowed 3 calls!! I'll take what I can get!

I received a call from my son on Friday afternoon. He is a Yeoman for 79. I, sadly, will not be able to make it for PIR. I'm in Texas, travel cost are too much in too short a period of time. He will be at the A school in GL. I planned to attend his graduation from A School.

My son is also a Yeoman for this same DIV. I never received a call yesterday nor today so far. Really bummed.

ChristiMom, I wonder if my son was referring to your son, when I spoke to him on Friday. He said that he and the other Yeoman had to finish up all the recruits paperwork before they could make their phone calls.

That is odd then. I wonder why my son didn't get his call unless time was up before he got to a phone. Thank you so much for this information. It means a lot.
