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."

Join the group, PIR 12/21/2012, to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Know that Divisions 037 and 038 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.

My son has almost been gone 2 weeks and wow - all I want to do is hear from him (like every other Mom on here, right?!!). That darn umbilical cord is still attached after 19 years!!! :-) I am soooo eager to hear from him, but MAN, I am so afraid I will start crying when he calls. When I got the ROBO CALL (it's what my sister named the call we all get the night the recruits reached GL -LOL!), well when I got the call - I knew exactly what to expect from NVM conversations and BOY OH BOY, it still was hard and the tears started up.... I just hope he could not hear it in my voice.... I don't want him to get upset knowing I am upset... AHH - need to have a test call... anyone want to call me and pretend they are my son??? hahahah!!!

Got a letter today. Said he's pretty sure they get to come home or 10 to 12 days. So happy. Said he was homesick but the guys there make it kind of better.
