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."

Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 029 & 030
These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.
Get to know each other, your SRs are!

Every single question that is asked is important
Every single concern is genuine
Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Thanks...and not that I doubt you at all, but how do you know for sure? He is not staying in GL for A school, but not sure when he flies out. What do you mean by TSC? Also I heard that they can only go so many miles from "ship" is that true do you know?

ellen's Sailor attends TSC GL. :-) TSC is Training Support Center GL.
They can go 50 miles from the area. See the FamilyGuide.pdf
This is an excerpt from the Graduation Schedule for PIR day on the RTC Website:
7:00-9:00 p.m. or as dictated by Chain of Command Liberty expires. Please note: Recruits must walk back to their designated ships, so allow the recruit ample amount of time to reach their destination.
Here is the link to that page:

They used to have overnight Liberty several years ago, but did away with it.
Things change all the time though. We try to ask the PIR groups for any new information so that we can advise of any changes. If we do have any we post it on the Main Wall of the PIR GROUP and/or in the Discussion Forum area of the group.

Thanks....I am more confused than ever. Because I had read that they didn't get it, then my DIL told me yes they do, then the recruiter said no, then I was talking to my son today and he said he does get it, but I'm not sure if he understood I was asking about overnight liberty or not and our conversation was short.

YooHoo! Just had a 30 minute phone call with my son! He's doing well and looking forward to PIR. He said that some of the form letters were messed up and were resent later, so I should be receiving it soon. He also has received my letters, but was only able to send out one. Sounds like things are going well. 30 days to go!

Amanda,
Sorry to hear that. If it helps at all my SR cut our call short so he could call his GF. But I must admit it was wonderful just to hear his voice.

He called. I should have been on the road home but was held up at work and he called! He sounded great. Passed all his tests, no wisdom teeth removal required and enjoyed his float test. He is my fish. Lived at the river all summer every summer. Ship 12 Div 030. He mentioned week 5 day 2? This must be a count down of days in BC. Anyway very happy to hear from him. Now I don't have to carry my phone around like a child with a blanket.. well for awhile. ;)
