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."

Have you gotten a form letter from him Tammy? My daughter-n-law hasn't but she called the recruiter for address. We just don't know when the PIR date is. I feel connected now that I've found someone with that division! LOL

My son left on 4/12 and got there early am 4/13 and he called Sunday too. Did he tell you why he got to call? I was surprised to hear from my son and didn't ask. He only said he hadn't gone through medical or issued uniforms so he didn't think they would start week 1-1 until next week. So I was happy to find someone in his same division unless it's different in the form letters. His birthday was yesterday and it was the first time in 25 years I didn't get to talk to my son on his birthday. I got really sad last night but better today. I'll feel much better when I hear something from him. I've already sent him 3 letters and one more on the way. He's going to tell me I'm overloading him. Please let me know if you get your letter? His will go to his new wife and she'll call but I'd still like to know.

Watch the main page of the group for the link to the group when ♥FireTeamLeaderWife♥ aka FTLW posts it or http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date. She is looking for someone to start the group, so if you are interested send her a Friend request and ask about it.
