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."

I just found this site! Wish I would have found it sooner! My son "Jed" is in 296 and goes on and on about what a great group of recruits he is with! He has mad a lot of friends. Says they get in trouble for talking ALOT, but it's because they like each other so much! So nice to find the moms! Just think, graduation in one week! I did get a letter yesterday. He says things have lightened up a little. they had their last personal inspection and only have to pass one more test, the the Battleship, which he thinks will be fun. They just finished 3 days of Firefighting.

Thank you for the update! I love this site it has a world of information. Can't wait only a week left. My son also said they have had an issue with all the talking lol sorry to hear it but glad everyone is getting along. Will you be attending PIR?

Yes! We will be at Graduation!! So excited! less than one week! We are in Kansas so we are driving, besides we will stop in St. Louis to see hubbys aunt. Only about an 8 hour drive for us.
I figure if they are talking they like each other. Jed said they "watch each other's backs" and that they help each other out. I was so glad to hear that. Do you know how many in the division? Are they all men?
Where are you coming from? Flying?

We are driving out from New Jersey. We are making a little vacation out of it and heading to Mall of America first. We will be at the Navy Lodge Thursday. Are you going to the meet and greet with Sarge on Thursday night? Is your son going to Florida for A school?
