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."

My son will be going to Monterey, CA, for A school for CTI.
For PIR, we'll be staying with family in the area. I'm going to look into shuttle service for getting onto base, though. I've read that the car line for PIR can back up for several miles!

Good Morning All. My son is in Div 17 and will be heading to Maryland for A School (MC-media communications). We are from Michigan and will be driving to GL for PIR. Not sure where we'll be staying while there, I'm still looking into my options. I was thinking Springhill Suites since there will be at least seven in our party.

Yes, I hope we get calls tomorrow, would be nice maybe during Chaplin visits.
My son , said that he still has to pass running he is over by 30 seconds , so he too looks forward to extra PT time. His tone of voice sound like he was exhausted but he was in very good spirits.
I just think about my baby all the time, this is the longest we ever been apart . Yet , I am so proud of him.

robmomma. I got two calls from my SR. One on Sunday and again Wednesday. He said they got an extra call for good behavior. Mine is a "Stick" in 04/018. He said they seem to keep getting in trouble quite a bit because the guys won't quit talking. go figure. I hope you get a call this week!!! It's so wonderful to hear my SR's voice. So positive and strong.

My son also mentioned it on the phone and in letters that some of his brothers talk to much. Lol I told him not to follow along and he says " Mom were brothers, a team so if one does wrong we all hear it." That made me laugh because it reminded me of his middle school years when he would blame things like that on class mates. Miss him so much....I cant wait to see him.
