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."

Who's sailors left for boot camp week of Nov 13 thru nov16th 2017

My son left on Nov. 13, 2017. Hubby got a broken up call saying he was there and would mail his belongings. Then he hung up. Today would be his 3rd day there. Wondering how he is doing. If he is regretting joining or if he is going to stick it out ...... waiting for his box and another call.

My son left the 13th also.  We got his box of clothes, but still waiting on a letter.  I wonder the same as you!  I can't wait to hear from him.

I'm glad you asked about these dates. I wasn't seeing anyone post with our dates. My son left (Texas) on Nov 15th. I got his form letter today. It's funny how excited you can get over something so impersonal. He is in Div 910, so I assume he volunteered. I'm proud of him, but I wonder how the extra work is effecting him.

His PIR date is Jan 12th.

My son is also DIV 910.  He left Ohio on Nov. 16th, and his PIR date is 1/12/18 also.  Does your son play instruments?
