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."

Another Nuke in the Division...that's cool! Looks like there are several of them heading to Charleston after BC. Depending on where you live in Florida, you may be relatively close for a visit when your son is in A school and beyond. That's great! Are you heading up to the graduation on 9/20?

I am not sure if I am going to the 9/20 PIR - that is the date - but there are a LOT of extenuating circumstances that might keep me from going (He might want his GF to bring his daughter - which means I will not be on his list) I hope to go--- I want to go --- but I may not have a choice.
I live in Central Florida - (near Daytona) - and I hope to get a visit or two in there!!!

Nothing yet from mine. I sort of have the impression that those who've received letters/calls are in the divisions with lower numbers 351, 352... and that maybe they've been there about a week longer than our kids? I'd have to go back through all the messages to check for sure though :) Mine left the 23rd of July so I think he probably hasn't hit week 3 yet and maybe that's why there's been no news. Maybe we'll get calls tomorrow

I received a phone call yesterday about 1 p.m. I had 20 minutes to talk to my SR. It was so nice to hear from him. He said the commander of their division was known as one of the most strict and that because there are a lot of disrespectful recruits in the division, the whole group as a whole pays for it.

Hi Sylvia-
My name is Sandy and my son, Dylan, is also staying in GL for A school. I'm glad you got a phone call from your SR. It is heartfelt when you hear their voice. Dylan is on Ship 12 Div 359 but I think it's close to your SR. Best wishes to you and your family. I hope we can all meet at PIR:)
