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."

Hi pamelau1970..my son feels the same way about the swap. All of his orders had included SD but after so many issues they gave him a small stint in Hawaii. How awesome is that! :)

Hi Mom0717...my son's PIR was in 7/2015...he graduated A school at the end of March but due to numerous changes in his orders he didn't start C school until July. He came home for 2 weeks before C school. He graduates on Monday. We aren't sure if he will be on hold, given another C school in SD or sent to Hawaii after graduation on Monday. I think he finds out this week. He isn't due to the Paul Hamilton until later this month but after long periods of hold, etc. he is very eager to get to the ship. My son is an ET. What rate is your son?

My son arrived in SD in June. He loves it there so the home port change was ok with him. He'll have just about 6 months in Pearl Harbor and I'm hoping to be able to visit!
