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."

For all Facebook Users, if you search for "U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command", there is a FB page dedicated to current bootcamp recruits. Check it out, and hit LIKE to stay updated. I looked thru photos posted, but did not see my Son SR Jensen. It looks like other people have found and tagged their son names here and there. Enjoy!

I am new to this group, having a son in Ship 14, Div 334. We are traveling from SoCal to the PIR several days before the ceremony to stay in Waukegan at a hotel that has a shuttle to PIR. From reading the posts here and on the BC forum, I see others are experiencing slow "snail mail" as we are. There must a cause so I wonder if they are only allowed to mail letters once a week. I forgot to ask that question when my son first called two weeks ago.

Yes, it had been once a week up until now. They have all been mailed on Mon. or Tues. I would usually get them Thurs or Fri. I received one on Monday this week. I am in WA.

We recieved a letter Monday & our son has said he's trying to get reclassified & if he does that means his "A" school would be in San Antonio.I hope we know before PIR because we made reservations until Monday because his "A" school is suppose to be in Great Lakes. I'm happy he wants to change his classification because San Antonio is only 4 hours from home!

What is your son's classification? and why would he want to change it??
