OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 daughter in d.153, ship 9, too. grad date 4/18. I haven't received any any any calls. I am so glad you got a 20 min. call. that is amazing! My daughter also said she stays to herself because she doesn't want to get yelled at either. She likes the Recruit Division commanders (RDCs) but hates when they yell! She doesn't like it either when the whole group has to do...IT..she explains that this is Intensive Training where they have to do lots of push ups, jumping jacks and other jumpy stuff. The whole group has to do IT when one or two sailors have not figured out that they just have to obey the rules. This is probably what your son dislikes too..he 'gets it' and wants the others to pipe down so all is peaceful and calm!!! I am not sure that happens in basic training!!

Hello Everyone,
My son is in DIV 139, Ship 10, and I haven't received a phone call yet. Alex left on February 14 and I got my initial 5 second call and that was it. Has anyone heard from their sons/daughters by phone? Are they in Alex's division? Please let me know.
I called yesterday the number on the website to find out about graduation. As far as I know Alex will graduate on April 11. Contrary to what I have been told, he will get liberty but he will have to be back on base in the evenings. I don't care, I can't wait to see him again. Alex is pre-SEAL and will be leaving for California after graduation but I don't know how long after. Quite frankly, I know nothing! I'm getting concerned that I didn't receive a call.
Thanks for letting me vent, I needed it.

Don't be concerned Ronnie -- it is normal to not receive a phone call for quite a few weeks - I think Kevin was there for about 3 before I received one and it can all vary. Have you received a letter yet? And I have only received one and he graduates 3/21!

Hi Ronnie , have you tried calling his recruiter , I just spoke to my sons recruiter and he was able to answer alot of my questions , I now know when when Ryan will be heading to school and even what time his curfew will be. Good luck

Pat,
They can only write on Sundays and their time is limited then. Hang in there....he'll write you more. It's quite an adjustment for them. My son was the same....the g/f got quite a few more letters in the beginning, but then he began to miss Mom too, so the letters were more in depth.
God Bless!

Hello All! My son's PIR was 11/2/07 and was in holding in GL until early Jan 08 when he started ATT. He just completed that class and is waiting (again). He is to be sent to Jacksonville, FL for "A" . . he is an AT . . he is my youngest and had his 19th BD while in holding at THU (bummer) and spent XMAS there as well. He did get to come home for a few days AFTER Xmas. Hopefully we will be able to go to Jacksonville shortly after he gets settled in there and can have his car.

Michele from Maine, here. I am a "seasoned" Navy mom and probably one the older moms!!! Adam enlisted in 2001 and is now out of the Navy, as of Oct. 2007. I look forward to sharing information I have learned and emotions I have felt over these years. It would make me happy to know that I can help another mother!
