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."

Oh yes, Chris, I am actually not too far from you... I am on the Northwest side of Milwaukee. I have family in Jackson.

Good evening, all. I am also from southeastern WI. My son is in Goose Creek in the nuclear program.
Chris, my son is on Grad hold. We should be hearing soon whether he will be staying in GC or going to Ballston Spa. What stage is your son? My son left for the Navy a year ago in Jan. His PIR was last March.

Count 9 Fridays from when they arrived to guess/estimate their PIR. You should get a form letter in a week with the PIR date hand written by your SR

My Sailor is an ET and had PIR March 8th. Mine is still in school at GL and will graduate in October

Hi Chris! Welcome! Are you a veteran mom of this group or just a veteran mom? :)
Curious...how do you already know your son's PIR date?
I am about 1.5 hours south of you!

Hello everyone. My name is Chris. I have one son in almost a year now. He's in GC Nuke School. My other son will be joining him there after his PIR 12/20/13. Anyone close to Green Lake?

Hi mindshaper and MyKidIsInNavy I too am a WI mom - southeastern. My son also arrived on Saturday in Pensacola and is aircrew so I asked my son if he had any bunk mates from WI and he said no.
MyKidIsInNavy - did your sailor just graduate?
