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."

I'm new to this site and my son just left with the recruiter today to and is leaving for BC from Boston tomorrow, Anyone else in the area with a child leaving tomorrow? This is much harder than I could have imagined, letting go is heart breaking although we are so proud.

lol! your cup of tea comment was good. and of course, i realize that. it was just the edge in his voice and how abrupt he was that unnerved me a bit. i have learned much about all of this in the 5 days since he's been there. a real education! thanks for the optimistic thoughts!!!

tbear48 I see your loved one is in OCS...this thread is for boot camp which is very different from OCS...which is why you're getting confused. They don't send home boxes or form letters. Things there are done very differently.
If I were you (to keep down your confusion and thus your anxiety) I'd stay on the OCS graduate moms group. I think there is a link on Facebook as well. Someone has most likely posted it on you comment wall on your page. Of course you're more than welcome to follow along here but there will not be any info pertinent to your loved one

I don't know yet. I'm still nervously waiting on my info. :( Good luck to you and your recruit!! :)

Your not alone. We're still waiting for the box / letter too. We'll keep our fingers crossed for tomorrow. My kids are ready to tackle every UPS or Postal Truck that goes by the house!!

LOL... my nerves are shot tonight. I hope it comes tomorrow or I'm going to be beside myself! ;)

Hang in there, its out of our control. Let me know if you get it tomorrow, I'll be on line again same time tomorrow. It would be something if we got them the same day with the same division.

Will do! Have a good night! ;)

Yes, please let us know if anyone gets anything tomorrow. I guess who ever gets the letter first, or gets info from the recruiter will be the bearer of the PIR for all of us. I'm praying for all of us, and our babies. Talk with you all tomorrow.
Goodnight. -
