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."

Hi Kelly, Have you received your box yet, my son Grant arrived in GL on the 26th also. I haven't received my box, but we have been having bad weather her so I hope I will get it tomorrow. I hope Kyle is doing well. Talk to you soon.

Hey ladies,
We were told by the recruiter that we may be able to drive our son from GL to his A school in SC. Have any of you heard this? Do you think it might be true? -

Hi Annette, I recieved a letter from my son yesterday. Grad will be March 19th. In the letter it say that they transport the recruits to the next post. So I don't think he will be allowed to travel with you to SC.

Hi all!! I hope everyone is hanging in there!! Seems as though a week kind of went by in a daze! Although my mom still has not received her "kid in a box" yet or a formal letter. It seems as though everyone who left the same week PIR is March 19th, which is a week sooner than I was counting!!! I am just guessing that will be the date! I really hope to hear from him soon!! God Bless everyone!!!

I am not sure why not. I will going to talk to his recruiter today to ask about it. I do know that he is in Ship 11 Division 117.
