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 have heard from several different souces that Great Lakes shuts down from Dec 17 to Jan 2. One of these souces was my sons recruiter, he said that he was at Great Lakes for schooling at Christmas and he was able to go home. My question is will they start thier A School after PIR or will they be put on hold? My son got to Great Lakes Oct 7 and was on hold for a week or so waiting for the rest of the Div to arrive. That's why they are a push Div, instead of boot being 8 weeks they are doing it in like 6 or 6 1/2 weeks. I can understand your concern being so far away. I am lucky in that I am only acouple hours South of Great Lakes, I could drop everything at a moments notice and go get him.

I got a phone call from my son today!!! It was so great to hear his voice. We only got to talk for about 12 mins but, it was so great. He said they have live fire and gas chamber this week, and that they probably would not be doing Battle Stations until the week of PIR.

He got to Great Lakes Oct 7 but, was on hold for a week or so waiting for the rest of his Div to arrive. He is in a push Div, they are doing boot in 6 weeks rather than 8.
