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."

Of course!  We moms have to stick together!!!  :)

And yes, it will definitely be a very, very early morning for PIR. I plan on getting to the RTC around 7 am to get in line. There is a line that will be outside in the parking garage that will go in to the visitor center. Then you walk through the visitor center and see the dispays they have. That's actually pretty interesting. Then you get to the table they check you in at. Then you get in another line and go outside again, to the building next door which is the drill hall. then you walk inside and through some more doors and it's like a huge gymnasium. They have an upstairs and a downstairs. They have signs on the floor of the drill hall that tell what division will be standing in front of which set of bleachers. 

I don't remember, what division is your SR in?

Welcome to NavyforMoms.com.  My name is Ronny and my son has been in the Navy since February of 2012.  He is currently stationed in San Diego with a Helicopter Squadron.  He is an Aviation Structural Mechanic.  I hope you find all the info you are looking for here, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.  My son is 3rd Generation Navy, so I do know a little about the Navy..:)
  
If you have a new Sailor who is in Boot Camp, or leaving soon, visit CallsforRecruits.org and I will send you FREE Pre-Paid Phone cards for your SR to use while they are in boot camp.  I started that program when my son left for Boot Camp :)
Welcome Aboard and I wish your Sailor Fair Winds and Following Seas.
