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."

A quick update  to my earlier post above..I got his form letter with his address..also a quick scribble on the back from him...I cried and cried...I thought I had been doing ok but for some reason this little hand written note hit a raw nerve...the address that his recruiter gave us was a little different than the form letter..the differences were  "Recruit training command"... the 4 digits following the zip code..and his name wasnt last name, first, middle initial....I really hope that he gets what everyone has sent him...I cant WAIT to get a real letter from him...more than just a scribble

Have a good day

My son left 12/7, box came 12/12 and letter 12/16. Looks like some who left then are PIR 2/3, but my son is also 2/10 and same as your son ship 11, div61. What is your son heading into? Know where he is heading for A school. My son will be going to Charleston. We live in Pennsylvania

If y'all haven't found the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command fb page do it now. It is a great place to have questions answered and a great source for support.

Anyone with PIR of 02/06/2012 have you got a phone call other than "I am here..."

Marry Christmas every one.  I am praying for all of you that God helps you through this hard but exciting time.
