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 husband arrived on the 11th and I received the letter today I'm sure yours is in the mail and you will be getting it soon!

Happy to hear you rec'd your letter Lisa. My son also arrived at boot camp on the 13th. I hope to hear from him soon. Others mentioned that he may be stuck in processing for two weeks, since is original BC date was 12/26, but then it was changed to the 13th. I truly hope not, becouse they didnt mention that to him. He would definately be disappointed.

dajluvslife, no, he will not be stuck in processing for two weeks. PIR will either be 02/01/2019 or 02/08/2019 depending on which division he was placed in. The 8th is more likely since he arrived at the end of the week. That is a large TG and there are only three guests for PIR.

That’s happy news and a wonderful Christmas gift! My son arrived on 12/12 and I’m waiting for “the letter” so I can write to him & make preliminary travel plans for PIR.
