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."

Its always good to make reservations early, especially if you want to stay at the Navy Lodge. As the closest hotel (and usually cheapest) their rooms go fast.

Hello, I'm Arwen. My son Chris graduated from GL about 6 weeks ago, from Ship 14, Div 100. The ship has been empty since then, so expect your recruits to complain about lots of dusting!
Aside from being a Navy Mom with recent boot camp experience, I am also a Navy veteran, as is my husband, and my younger son Sean is getting ready to start making his way through the system to join. He graduates from high school this June.
So, I have lots of answers. If I don't know the answer to your question I can probably tell you where you can find it.
I started with posting a Navy pay FAQ in the group discussion forum. If you want PIR information already, let me know and I will post it.

My daughter is ship 14, div 188 with a PIR date of 5/14/10. To JessicaB-Sailor Mom - the questionaires would be great! I have so many questions that I want to ask my daughter and it's hard to get them all into a letter!

My daughter will have her A school at Great Lakes. This is good for us since we are only about 3 hours away.

ILNavyMom: I really don't understand how these "blogs" work myself. I just try to post something and hopefully it works :) I myself don't really understand a lot of the military "lingo" either. I don't understand about the different Divisions or Ships. Anyone have any inside info>?

caherbearHey! My daughter is in Div 926 Ship 6 too! Have you received the packet of info yet and the form letter? We got a phone call this past Sunday, her box this past Monday and a letter from her arrived on Wednesday.
EveryoneSorry, but I'm not as savvy as I should be when it comes to these discussion groups. If I'm supposed to contact someone personally instead of leave a comment please let me know how.
Thanks!

Erin: My son is going to graduate on May 14th also. He is Div. 185 Ship 12. My daughter-in-law got her letter last night and gave us the information. I am so excited and can't wait to see him
