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."

Hang in there!!!! It does get better. The first couple of weeks are the hardest. Is this the first call you received?

I got a call when she first got there on the 27th then one today needing info. She was just distraught and kept crying. I just wanted to go get her!! :( I told her remember what her recruiter said, that the first few weeks were hard but that it got better.

I'm sorry she is having a hard time! Sounds like you did a GREAT job of being positive for her. I want to hear from Andy but it sounds like what they say is true...no news is good news!!!! Sending prayer for strength for you and your daughter!!!!
-

Thank you for the prayers, and mine are going out for you and your loved ones as well:)i have written her every day and try to stay positive. Neither one of us really knows what to expect here so we are learning. She only had to call to get information to start her security clearance. I hope you hear from your andy soon! and its good news:)

HI
What state are you from? Another Recruit went to boot camp the same day as my son Andy from the same recruiting station but I don't know his first name. LOL!!!! Going by the last name thru DEP and then first names on this site gets confusing. LOL!!!! When I called our recruiting station the Friday after they left Andy's recruiter said that the other recruit was on the same ship as Andy but in the brother company and I think he said 267 but I don't remember for sure. Are you flying or driving to PIR? We are flying Southwest but I am waiting to hear from my mom and dad before I book our hotel. they might be taking their camper down to GL from Minnesota..
