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."

My son graduated boot camp July 6th. I ordered the graduation video that day and have not received it yet. Does anyone know how long it takes or who to contact to check if it has been sent or when it will be? Thank you.

Received a letter!

I received a letter from my son today! It was so wonderful to hear from him :) It has really put my worries to rest. Has anyone else heard from their loved one?

Thanks. Glad you like my list of PIR groups.. Keep this site active. The best way is to reply to post comment in forum and blog and in your groups.  People live to read what is posted but won't post themselves. Can't figure out the psychology of that yet ...  just the way people are.

Also, looks like you found your SRs PIR date, now that you've joined with others graduating on the same date as your son. You can begin to narrow the search to find others with your son, in the same ship and div. You can leave a post in that group asking if there are any others, if there is not one already. I only found one other in my sons ship, but I found an entire group of support, from others in the same PIR graduating date, our PIR group began a FB page which was a tremendous help and blessing. Please feel free to ask anything! I will try and help! I read a lot in the beginning, and was inspired to be positive by other moms, and the information found here! It will be a blessing for you here! I am sure!

Is hesperia in so cal..?? I am in bakersfield, but I go to marina del rey and oxnard to sail often..lol....

I sent my son envelopes that I had already stamped with every letter I sent him.  I think I put 2 or 3 in each one.  That way he didn't have to buy any.  I also told him before he left that after the first couple of day it would seem like the end of the world, but it would get better every day.  He said that was the best advice because he kept telling himself it would get better, and it did.  Always be positive in your letters, theirs might not be..lol...

I have a page on my site called boot camp day by day...it goes through all the p-days and then all the weeks....in case you want to know what they are going through :)

Have a great weekend...

Welcome to NavyForMoms.com!! I hope you get all the information here you are looking for.  If you have a new Recruit and need phone cards for them please check out Calls for Recruits.org and get them for FREE.  I feel that the Family, Loved Ones, nor the Men and Women of our Armed Forces should have to pay for phone calls from Boot Camp.  The link above will take you to the website to send the email for the FREE phone cards if you need them.  Please spread the word if you know of anyone who can use this great service!!!
