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."

Thank you for the invite!  I am so new at this, and am looking forward to learning how best to serve my son and others.

He is going to be a culinary specialist. He has lays wanted to be a chef and has two years of culinary school under his belt already. He is currently told he I'll be on a submarine but if n opening comes up for a ship position for the august group he can choose to switch. He would prefer the ship. Because of his scores he was encouraged to go nuclear but he wants to cook.

Thank you, Pat.  It is good to know there are resources out there.  I am really nervous because my son never even mentioned military until about a month ago.  So I have not had much time to get used to the idea.  He is 18 but will not graduate high school until May, so at least I have a few months to  spoil him and get ready.  I have not had any experience with military life, so this will all be new to me.

Thanks for the info about the indiana page.  I think I found the right one.

I did find the Indiana Moms site, but haven't located his PIR date yet.  My son actually shipped out from Nashville, Tennessee.  That is where he went to college.  Is there a specific site for that area as well?

At 10:20am on October 25, 2012, gcremeens said…

Thank you for the nice welcome.  I am a little embarrassed but I haven't been able to find the Indiana specific area or his PIR date.  His PIR is on November 21.  If its not too much bother could you please give me some direction to these 2 places.  I appreciate your help.
