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'm out of here for the next couple of hours. My hubby signed me up to bowl with him on his Thursday night league. That man will do anything to get me off of this computer!! (think he's a bit jealous!)
Oh...... one more thing. I got to "skype" with all the ladies in PIR 8/27 who are at their Meet & Greet tonight!!! Their sailors graduate tomorrow. It was a ton of fun. Wish I had thought of doing that with earlier PIR groups. Skype is a free program, you just need a webcam and microphone.

Your letters will get there... I think that the mail system is likely very used to people leaving that off. Don't worry Moms!
That's right, LOVEUDREW, I knew that. Yes... I would wait to be safe.

My son's recruiter didn't tell me about putting "Recruit Training Command" on it either. I hope my letters get there too.

Dana He left the 18th and arrived at 2AM on the 19th. I think I'll just wait for the letter it sounds very out of sequence.

I just sent out 7 letters this morning using the address that my son's recuriter gave me. It didn't have "Recruit Training Command" on it.(He didn't tell me that). I saw that on the form letter that I received "after" I mailed the letters. Do you think the letters will still get there? I sure hope so.

LOL... yep... not just any old green... but LIME GREEN... that's a special kind of envy! ;)
Welcome new Moms!
Dillons Mom - Nope... I'm still waiting and my recruit left on 8/18... and I'm not all that far away. Hopefully it'll be my day tomorrow... and your day, too! Is your recruiter unable to get you the info?
LOVEUDREW.... hhmmm... I don't know... that doesn't sound right to me. It doesn't follow the sequence at all. When did your recruit leave? Dana = bad memory!

Christina B! YEAAAAA!!! You got the letter. I know about the recruiters. The recruiter gave me two different letters to put in back of Anthony's last name. It was not SR. Oh well.; I hope it isn't something bad! I'll just blame it on the recruiter. It is his fault. Anyway, I'm glad she's okay. Are you okay?
-
-
No your not alone, I'm with you Dillons Mom. No letter yet either and not real sure about the address I got..
-
-
Wow... all the letters and CALLS, too... oh my goodness I am LIME GREEN with envy!!!! So very happy for you though... makes my heart smile to know their are happy momma's out there tonight!!!
Now would some more momma's out their post that their recruits are in Ship 12 Div 343, please? I need some company! ;)
Hugs all around!
