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."

Got the KIB today! Most everything was sent home, clothes, backpack, notebook, but she did get to keep some makeup that she took, unless they threw it away.. She addressed the box, her handwriting looked steady, so that seemed promising, mine would have been all over the place! Let me know if you got your box today..

I'm glad you got your box! I still haven't gotten mine--I need it badly--lol! I got his letter on Monday tho. I'm hoping that it will be here in a day or two--if not--I sure don't know what the next step would be.

Hi Everyone, I'm Carolyn. My son Dan left on August 18 from Philadelphia airport. We live in a suburban area about an hour north. We got the "box" yesterday, so as much as I worry he's made it through the first week. I am so looking forward to the first letter!! He called my daughter's cell phone from Chicago thinking it would be better. I had to get up for work at 5 am. Wish he hadn't been so thoughtful haha. BTW I am a Navy Vet & went to bootcamp in Orlando FL in summer of 1975. I am so very much looking forward to all the support we can lend on another and our kids...I was all alone back then, no phone calls just one letter a week from my mom.

Ya'll should be able to get the ship/divsion and address from the recruiter and from that I can figure out the PIR date.

Actually...if all your rcts shipped out the same day chances are they'll be in the same PIR group http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir1008

My daughter called me this morning! Scared me to death, thought something was wrong, she said no, she was doing some kind of security paperwork for her job, and they told them they could call home, we talked for 14:20 minutes, finally told her I had to go back to work! Things are going great, said it wasn't that bad, just the yelling! Great to hear her voice, and know she is doing fine!
