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."

They should have at least the daytime off over the weekend. If they move over to Pre-Buds on Fri. then they may get liberty the whole weekend, even the nights. So i hear we should be prepared that they may b able to stay with us over night.
Oh, and, yes, we are doin burgundy.
Just got my first call!!

Our SR left 2/6 from the Florida Keys and then the following day from Miami. He's in ship II/DIV 119. PIR is 4/1, which is also his 19th birthday. We haven't received a letter yet.... I am anxious to hear from him. I know that no news is good news but still wait for that first letter.
Does anyone know if there's a meet and greet the night before the PIR for families to meet?

I do not know.... I think I read that some hotels have gatherings for the families.

Just got my second letter... he sounds down in this one. He got 3 of his wisdom teeth pulled and it wasn't a good experience. I hope that they get to call again next week or that his next letter sounds better... ugh, this is the really hard part.

Mom2four, Sorry he sounds down. I know how upset that can make you as a mom.. I'm sure they all go through their days of missing home and their "normal" life. I bet the next time you get your letter it will be better. Hang tight Mom...they don't have much more left, 28 days!!
