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."

My son's PIR was 5/21. He is now on T-Track at Nuke School in Charleston, SC waiting for Power School to start up in November. He graduated A school on 9-3.

Be sure you go to the airport with him. It gives you more time with him. And from what I have read it seems to be filled with entertainment with stories from all the recruits there. Also you can give him his cell there before he leaves for Charleston.

Vita3 - you are so close to me, I live in Round Rock. Where do you work in Round Rock? My son had PIR last 11-6-09, it is an amazing ceremony. Are you going to Great Lakes for the PIR? Our son is now in C school in Dahlgren, VA. He goes to the USS Gravely in March. The ship will be stationed out of Norfolk, VA, it is a new ship, will be commissined November 20th in Wilmington, NC.

Texasmom...I hope you have your trip planned to go to boot camp PIR - it is a wonderful experience. We flew into Milwaukee, rented a car, and drove to Chicago. It costs a lot less.
We attend (and I work at) First Baptist Church, Round Rock. Maybe sometime we can meet.
