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."

You will have to wait until you get the form letter to know the date for sure.  By counting 9 Fridays, the most likely date for PIR is 03/15/2013, but since the recruit arrived on a Tuesday, the recruit could have been one of the last to fill a division from the week before and therefore have PIR on 03/08/2013. Again, you will have to wait on the form letter.

Join the group, DEP-Leavin' for Boot Camp in January, to connect with others with loved ones who left that day and may have PIR together.

You may want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. Once you know your SR’s PIR date and/or division number, watch in Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and/or at http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date and join the group for that once it has been created. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening, but you will also want to check out the other Pages in all of the groups.

I noticed from your profile that your spouse/significant other is in BC, so you may want to  join Girlfriends, Fiances,andWives of Sailors.

The group for 03/08/2013 is PIR 03/08/13 TG 17 - 10 Divisions (105-112, 916 and 917) and the group for 03/15/2013 is PIR 03/15/2013.  Form letters for both dates were received by people today.

would love to talk with someone that has a SR in with my son

kdmac1, I see you have joined the group PIR 03/15/2013.  Know that Divisions 115 and 116 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.  There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.
