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."

Does anyone know whether we are allowed to see our recruits before the graduation on the 15th? I see that some of you are coming in early, didn't know if the recruits had some "off base" time that they could spend with the families. Also, are your recruits able to leave after basic, or does it depend on their orders? My son is going to A School in Pensecola FL, But don't know much more than that. BTW, my son is in Ship 13, Div 053 for those that would like to stay connected.
Thanks! -

Hi there,
My son arrived on Nov. 10th. We live in Chandler, Arizona. You can call either your boyfriends recruiter to get an address. Or, he should have sent a form letter to someone with the address on it, etc. I'm not sure what time he arrived in Illinois on at RTC, but I got the late night call from him that he was there and it was about 11:00 Arizona time, so 1:00 am there.
When I write Matthew next I plan on listing all the people I've talked to and see if he can connect the dots there. Are you on Facebook? Sometimes easier to keep in touch on there. -

Hi Seth's mom
My son, Andrew, is on the same ship and division. We are from Texas. We have not made any plans yet. We are undecided wheather to fly or drive. The weather won't be very good at that time of the year and we are from South Texas, we are not used to cold weather or road conditions.
I saw the PIR schedule - it read that people will open at 6:30 am - but don't know how current that information is. -
