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 don't post on RTC FB, but if anyone does, you may want to post on there that the www.bootcamp.navy.mil site is still not accessible from Internet Explorer browser.

My daughter is going for AO ( aviation ordnance) I know there is at least one other girl going too, just dont know her name ... as far as meeting at the airport... i will probably avoid that if its O'hare... i get too confused and mixed up when i go there lol! She can call and let me know her address if we dont get it prior to her going and i can priority mail it, if that is allowed

Ah the "black bag" .....you can give them their phone etc at the airport as long as is is allowed by the "school" they are going to. Your SR will tell you what he/she can have/wants.A black back pack or other plain black carry on (Walmart $10-$15) or they sell them at the NEX($40 for a back pack) on base. Ask your SR when the time gets closer to PIR. what they want or can take. At this point they probably do not know that info.
Ladies there are lots of diff groups for you to join when your SR moves on to "A" school. You'll find some of these moms wherever your SR goes. Look on the groups list and check it out.

Bev and kiminaz, I am interested to know this as well. Are your SRs going in with the title Airman? And going to Pensacola for A school for that? That's my daughter's path, so it made me wonder if we'll be in another forum here at N4M in 6-7 weeks together :-)

My son will also be leaving for Pensacola - I have heard that we can meet them at the airport on Saturday morning and give them their phone then. My question is can we also give them their iPod/iPad if they want?

I know I read somewhere that when our Sr leaves with us for the day after PIR, they cannot return with anything... my question is if they are a grad and go, do I have to mail her phone to her in pensacola or what?

SailorBrittysMom-the name tags that we rc'd from Ramada were the standard "Hi my name is..."stick on ones like you would get from an office supply. Hope that helps.
