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."

Rabbit - I am glad you joined the BC Mom group!! And I think you said you joined the PIR group. You will have to wait for Ellen0502 to accept you into that group. It may take a couple of days. Only the Admins can do that and they have busy lives as well.

Rabbit - here is the link for the July PIR group. I think your SR will fall in that one, if not let me know and I will send you the Aug one. I will be off and on sporadically this weekend but if you ask in the main BC Moms group, they will help you. It is on about page three now in our comments for the day.

Hello Rabbit, I saw you had replied to a discussion in the BC Forum that is very outdated. I would encourage you to click on this link : BC Moms group
which will take you to the BC Moms group. If you join the group, then you will be able to enter into other discussions with ladies whose SR are at BC also. We are waiting for one of the admins to get the PIR groups set up for July. She has had some computer issues, so we are waiting patiently. Everyone volunteers their time on this site, so we all help each other out. My sailor left three years ago on June 29th for BC and our silence wasn't as long as it is for you all currently, but when you are going through it, it can seem like forever before you get that form letter with their address and then hopefully a phone call.

Welcome to NAVYforMoms.com!
Head to “Settings” on the main page right away to add a profile image (no last names visible, please) and complete your Profile. Then - and this is important! - read these Community Guidelines and this Operations Security (OPSEC) Checklist, for the safety and privacy of all our Sailors.
Then jump right in! Browse around the site and check out the groups and the information in their Discussion Forums.
Join this group for boot camp moms, where you'll also find a group for your Pass in Review (graduation) date; and this one for PIR Reference Information.
Get a head start during boot camp by joining groups for, and learning about, your Sailor's occupational specialty and "A" School; and later your Sailor's duty station and/or Navy ship and homeport. You can also join groups for your own state, region or home town and interests from getting ready for deployment to care package ideas!
Please say Hi when you join a group, and feel free to ask any and all questions - everyone was new once, and there is no "dumb" question.
This site was created by the U.S. Navy just for you, and we look forward to getting to know you and your Sailor.
Welcome to the NAVY family - we're so glad you're here!!
Your NAVYforMoms Admins
