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."

I have a son that left 4/11 for Grt Lks boot camp.  I would like to connect with other Navy moms in this division.  Looks like 6/15 is the grad. date.

sounds like they might have that chance.  My big question is at PIR,  will they ship out on Saturday or will we get to visit with them beyond Friday?  I have hesitated making reservations yet.

Well we are traveling from California. We plan on staying a few days regardless and seeing some of Chicago. I would love to spend all the time we can of course with him, but I don't think they know until a few days before PIR. I could be wrong on that though. Maybe their recruiter would have that info.

Evening HM.  I'm 11/177 too!  My son's name is Garrett.  I hope he has made friends with many of his division, I"m sure he has.  We're from Louisiana. About 45 minutes north of New Orleans.  Still awaitng the first letter and first phone call here.  You?

Hi star. No word yet. We are from California. My son is Kristopher. I'll ask him about Garrett.
I cannot tell you how bad i want a letter. Let's deffinetely keep in touch. What a great website this is.

Yep, nothing for me either on this end. I did speak to a lady I am becoming to know, that her son arrived the day before and ended up being three divisions before Garrett AND she got her first phone call today!  So OURS is coming!  Maybe next weekend!  That would be awesome! 

Definitely lets keep in touch.  I'm at the Navy Lodge for PIR.  You?  Are you planning on making the meet and greet?

Hi Star. We have yet to book anywhere. Im sure we will go to meet and greet. Did you get a letter or a call yet? Let's keep each other posted :)

Techi- is there a way to turn the post around so they sort from the newest to the oldest; instead of the oldest to the newest.  My computer is slow trying to page through.  :-(

No, Star, that is not possible since that is how the site is set up.  What you can do is click on Last Reply in the Discussion Section on the Main Page and then work backward. Here is what that was before this post and you will see that clicking on "Last reply" gets you to the last reply (now this one, but it was yours before this):

Do we have a Div 177 yet?

Mine doesn't have a 'last reply'... :-(   Guess I'll just have to continue to go to the last page manually. 

Do we have a Div 177 yet?

I am referring to the main Boot Camp Mom's page.  You will see it under the Discussion Forum heading in the middle.
