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 in this group and I'm just wondering if all of the others in this group arrived at boot camp on Monday the 6th. I'm really confused becaused many of the other boot camp moms who have said their child arrived on the 6th dont have PIR until July 3rd.

ktbhi, This TG was a little slower to fill, it was actually started the week before and had to "wait" to fill until the following week. Those that arrived on the sixth filled the divisions for the prior weeks TG and started the current weeks TG. Some of those that arrived on the same bus can even be in two different TGs with two different PIR dates.
This is why we always recommend on waiting until the form letter is received to get the PIR date.The last two divisions of this TG are most likely PUSH divisions. Just a little less time for training, but they will still get it done.

Thanks to everyone at N4M posting about prospective phone calls I was able to make sure my phone was charged. I also made "847" as my background in my phone so I would recognize the area code when he called. It was a great relief to hear his voice and the excitement he is feeling. Thank you all!
