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."

Hey shipmate... which school, where? Just because every training command is a bit different, heck, it varies from one A school to another. Would be good to be specific, so you're not getting a ton of questions for places you ain't.

i would recommend putting perhaps a brief overview of what their recruits will do at boot camp to help ease their minds a little, maybe something about the phone calls they will make as well.

Good idea. I'll talk to some of the other moms and come up with something. We have an entire discussion on that, maybe I'll link to it.

I have a question, I have read the boot camp day by day on the meps & dep group and he talks about the days being 1-5 but what about Saturday and Sunday? If my son gets there on Wednesday evening what days will be his P1-5? Wed - Sunday? Then Week 1 starts on Monday?
-
-
-
weekends do not count. his P-1 will be thursday, P-2 friday, P-3 monday, P-4 tuesday, P-5 wednesday, and then it will be 1-1 thursday and so on.
-
-
-
so what do they do that first weekend? and on other weekends?
