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."

Hello, My son is Ship 7 Div 364, Got our form letter today with short note at the bottom of the page. So wonderful to read something from him.. His grad date 11/5. He has only been gone a week but seems like forever. The no contact/communication at the beginning makes it seem so Long..

My son joins with yours-- Ship 07 Divison 364. Got the box and the letter both today. I miss Alex, but one line in his little note at the bottom of the form letter truly stands out.."Mom, I'm so excited to be here" That really makes me happy. I'm so looking forward to seeing the man he is on his way to becoming in these next 7 weeks.

hello everyone ! i got my sons box lasy friday, he mus have worn the same socks for three days! when i opened the box i had to step back. Lol i got the letter monday, he says food is good not much sleep which must be really hard on him considering we refer to him as the lump in the bed. Quenton says he cant wait for boring stuff to end end and the fun to start. All joking aside (joke or cry are my options now) i really miss him alot my husband was in the navy (20 years ago) and it wasnt as hard on me as missing and worryong about a child .We did get a call from him today he needed some info on paper work that he had to ask us about the call was breif, he did say today is the first day of their "real' training.So i guess the Fun has started for our kids!

Welcome, welcome - mark this down as 1/1 so you can begin the count. That way when I post things about what week they do what things...you will kind of know what is going on. Tomorrow I will post week one and two summaries. I giggled about your socks because one of the things I learned if you take time to read back through the the main chat is they wear their initial sweats through all of processing without washing them. The way I count the days for my son that was 14. Nasty....my son was also a lump in the bed. I am so glad you are here and found your way to this discussion group. Please come out to the main group as well. We are one PIR group and I look forward to getting to know you!!
