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 left 1-12-11 for BC in Chicago Great lakes. Not sure were your son went to, I'm new to all of this and missing him terribly! I received my 30 second phone call weds night and now I'm not sure when I'll hear from him again, this waiting is horrible. I wish I had an address to at least write to. Does anybody know how long it will be before we here from them again or get an address to write to?

My son left Knoxville, TN on 1/12/11. I am so proud and happy, but wow that was hard! I think the next time we hear from them is like in 3 weeks or so, but I think they have to "earn" those privileges. I was told the estimated PIR date is 3/11/11. Maybe some of our sons will get to know each other, and/or we'll get to watch them graduate at the same ceremony.

My son leaves Maine on 1/19. Not sure if they are going to be in the same class or not. I'm not looking forward to his final swearing in and watching him leave. Any tips would be a wonderful help.
