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."

Hi! I guess I'll be the one to post first!
Haven't posted much here at all but have read alot. Would love to chat with other 207/208 parents. My son is in 207 and will be headed to San Antonio for HM A school after boot camp.
No call since the "Im here" call... It'll be 4 weeks Monday since he left. I really want to hear his voice!

We are! Super excited to meet everyone there.
Dying to get a call. I see most of the divisions are getting them. Not sure why 207 isn't other than my son said there's a lot of people getting in trouble for TALKING of all things!

Hi. My nephew is 208 and will head to Charleston, SC for A School, Nuke program. He hasn't called yet. Maybe tomorrow... I'm sending him a birthday card and a questionnaire so he can fill in some blanks to give us the info we'd love to know but he won't think we care about (food, physical requirements, clothes, friends, etc.). I believe he's more likely to fill that out and mail it than write a letter. I'm hoping to get to the PIR, too, but it'd be a quick turnaround in order to then get to my daughter's travel softball tournament the next day. Good luck to all your SRs and Happy Mothers Day!

Hi JCB's Mom. My SR 12/208 and I are from Georgia too! He said he is doing fine, but they have lost a few. I can't wait to see him at PIR.

My daughter is 207 and will go to Pensacola for A School for Master-at-Arms (MA). I'm beyond excited for graduation and really hoping for a phone call soon! This site and her letters have made this process so much easier. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

My SR is going to MA school San Antonio. 12/207. Got 7 letters yesterday and FINALLY got phone call today. Fortunately, her sister was here and she got to talk to her too. She says that they are getting in trouble for talking all the time and that's why they were not able to call. She doesn't like it there and can't wait to go on to San Antonio.
