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."

Lovingmom-- This is off of http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/faq_family.asp I hope it helps! Take care
The Navy Exchange Photographic Services at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes offers each graduating recruit the opportunity to purchase division and individual photographs, a division Cruise Book, which highlights the Recruits’ Boot Camp experiences from Night of Arrival to Graduation Day and a DVD of the Recruit Pass-In-Review Ceremony.
Photographs and cruise books may be purchased only by the recruit prior to their graduation from boot camp; however, if your recruit did not order a DVD of PIR, the Navy Exchange Photographic Services Office will accept orders on the day of graduation.
Please verify with your recruit that a DVD has not been ordered by them prior to placing your request.
To order a DVD of your Recruit's PIR, please contact the Navy Exchange Photographic Services Officer at (847)578-6205 and provide the following information:
Recruit's Name
Division Number
Date of Pass-In-Review Ceremony
Return Address (Sorry, No P.O. Box or Overseas Addresses Please)
Daytime Phone NumberFor prices and additional information, please contact the Navy Exchange Photographic Services Office at 847-578-6205

Hi there!!! If there is anyone here or that you all know who will be unable to attend the PIR please share, If there is a way or something we can pull together and help out with let me/us know such as pass along something to their SR, give a hug to them, shake their hand, take them to lunch, dinner; there was one Mom on here who sent another Mom the SRs cellphone to take to A school along with other items, because Mom was unable to attend. I'm putting it out there :) 14/310

Good morning ladies, No phone calls lately, how's everyone holding up ? I definitely need to find a hobby or something to keep me busy. It was just my son and myself at home and we did a lot together so is really quiet and lonely here now. Miss being able to talk to him!

Yes, It has been 3 weeks with no phone call, It is very different around my home too, So quiet, It was so full of laughter and busy with friends coming over and watching movies and playing games. But now my son is off making new friends, not to forget his old friends, and making a wonderful life for himself and that's what I think about when I'm sad and missing him.

I know what you mean lovingmom, We had quite a few of his friends over especially the last month. This is hard on them and us , but yes I am very proud of what they are doing and who they will become. Just wish we would get a phone call, but it doesn't look good

Dylsmom, are you going to PIR, I can't wait to go,I know we only get a small amount of time with our SR, but it's still worth the trip. My mind constantly stays on him, what he's doing and how he's doing. i received a letter on Friday and that was great, but still want to talk to him.

Sorry I must have missed this question.. Yes I am flying to PIR from Florida on the 2nd and going to Sarge's Meet and Greet that night. I have my suitcase, ribbons, door sign, think I might need a coat too. Are you going to the M&G?
