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."

It looks like we have Ship 12 Div 183 discussions going in 3 different groups - Boot Camp Moms, Leavin' for Bootcamp in March and the PIR 5/07/2010 group. Before there get to be too many of us, should we settle on one and close the other two?
I recommend keeping the one in the PIR group since it shares with the other divisions on our grad weekend, but if anyone has strong feelings about going a different direction speak up. -

I think their next phone call will be next week...My son told me on his 30 second phone call that he would call in about three weeks. Last Tuesday was his first day, so this day is the start of week two and next tuesday will be week three so I am expecting a call sometime next week..really hoping for it to be next week at least.
