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."

ebigirl: You probably will be in this group, but not for sure until you get that form letter. Could be the next one. So stay here until you are confirmed! Form letter usually comes within the first 10 days-2 weeks after they leave. Sometimes the recruiters have the ship/division # for your SR. That is how some of these ladies know theirs.

My son left on March 9th. I received "the" phone call that night about 11:00pm PST, but the "box" is being mailed to his girlfriend's house. She hasn't let me know she that she's received it yet. I feel stupid asking this but how do you already know when PIR is?
Oh, we are from the Seattle/Tacoma area of Washington.
Thanks for your help! Monica

It is so good to see so many joining this group and saying where they are from. It really does make it feel like family. Welcome everyone.

They are both from my sailors ship the Harry S Truman, one of them is from her squadron, The Ragin Bulls and when he flew in she was standing there at the hanger while they were filming it. This is so cool :-)
