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."

Yes my son will graduate on 11/4/11. He is on ship 09 div 364 and I've only gotten one letter which was a form letter with a quick note written on the back. Still waiting to get a real letter from him. How about you - have you heard anything yet?

My son is graduating on Nov 4 also. Are you able to go to PIR? I live in Michigan so it is only about a 4 hour drive for me, thank goodness. I am pretty bummed that only 4 people can attend the ceremony. Do you have a son or daughter graduating? I can't wait to get there and see them, it will be great !!

Yes my son will graduate 11/4 also. We live in the Chicago area so I'll definitely be attending! Just got my first letter on Tues. 9/27 (actually it was 3 letters). I should be getting them every week now but I haven't gotten a phone call yet - can't wait for that day!

Hi !!
I really am worried that I will miss his call. That would just break my heart. I am just going to have to tell my boss that I am going to keep it with me at all times and if he doesn't like it...too bad !! =) lol. I got my first letter yesterday and was soo excited !! And relieved because he "sounded" really good. I was starting to get worried even though I know the first few weeks are crazy busy. I guess that is just the mom in me. Now I feel bad because I never realized whay MY mom went through the day I left for bootcamp. I guess that's my payback..lol. I hope we both get our calls soon !!!!
