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."

Anyone's son/daughter leave on January 9th from Dallas?
My son, Jesse, left Monday. I miss him so much but know that he is doing a great thing!
I am in the Seagoville/Mesquite, Texas area. Any moms near me?

It is possible that it will be 3/2 or 3/9. It depends on what he went in for. There are some that have to wait a few days longer in processing to form their Div, at least that is what I have heard being in that 3/2 group. It will help you so much being on there in getting information. It has been a great support group. 3/9 group is in the making and not a group yet anyway so joining the 3/2 will at least give you some support now even if it turned out to be 3/9. If you don' t get your form letter by tomorrow, I would call the recruiter and see if he/she had his Ship/Div. Some have been able to get that information from the recruiter and some the recruiter didn't have it but it would be worth a shot so you would at least know what one your child will be in. I know the lost feeling that you have right now it is a horrible feeling. This site has helped me so much in not being lost, if you have any questions you can ask them in the 3/2 group, they are very eager to help in any way. God bless you and your SR as you go thru this.
