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."

Welcome CRF230dad - yes there are a few leaving the same day as your SR. Would you like me to add your name

I know most "guys" dont get into the emotional chit chat but there is a lot of great information on here too! Please ask if you have questions and if you have any answers to the questions asked from others please be sure to post them. We are all here to support each other and our future sailors!!

My son ships on March 29 also. He does not understand why I feel anxious, scared, proud and happy. I know you all can relate. What has anyone heard about MEPS on ship date?

gomarville...it looks like your PIR date will be 5/27....do you want to for the group? If the RTC skips that week and the date is a week later, then just change the name of the group

Oh I see, well that is great you found that out! I contacted his recruiter on facebook last night and he said he will look it up on his computer at his office tomorrow! : )

Everyone whose division is 179 and higher, 812 and 928---your PIR date is most likely 5/27 -unless the RTC skips a week
