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."

Milagros, if you can try to get a copy of the form letter sent to your separated husband. The recruiter might also be able to help you and at least give you an address so you can write to your son. I believe the PIR date would most likely be 7-9-10.

I hope you have found more information by now but in case you have not, call the recruit office closest to where he was living and ask if they had him and ask for his recruiter. They can tell you his address and PIR date. Based on what I have seen I would expect his PIR date to actually be July 23rd. There is not going to be a PIR on July 16th and most of the recruits who left the same week as your son will be having PIR on the 23rd. I do not understand why parents cannot communicate with each other regarding their children. It is sad that you have to worry and wonder about your son when his father has the information and could share it with you. Good luck, If his PIR date is 7/23 come join our group and look for our Meet and Greet event July 22nd at Ramada Inn Waukegan.
