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."

You may wish to join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in December. You will meet others with loved ones leaving that day/week who may be in the same TG and have PIR together. Be sure to check out the discussion, Things to Do in the Last Month Before Your Future Sailor Leaves for.... I also suggest you join New Members Stop Here, Boot Camp Moms, and PIR Reference Information and check out the Pages and Discussions there.
Your future Sailor may want to join http://www.navydep.com to learn the ins and outs from the DEP point of view. Craig runs that and will steer you to some good links on there.

Thanks for jumping in. He is doing fine. "No news is good news!"
You may want to check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvKAhmgkoj4 and http://www.navydep.com/forums/showthread.php?t=433. They will give you an idea of what is happening.
You may want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms, PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. Once you know your SR’s PIR date and/or division number, watch in Boot Camp Moms and/or at http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date and join the group for that once it has been created. There is lots of information and support for you in those groups. Be sure to check out the Pages and Discussions.

Hello.. Yes I did get his address last week but hoping for a letter or call from him. Their seems to be mixed results on when we can expect to hear from them.. Hope all is well with your son..:)

You should get a "real" letter this week since yesterday was Sunday and he would have had time to write for the first time. See Phone Cards and Phone Calls and Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit within Boot Camp Moms to find out more on when you can expect contact from your recruit. (Each of those is a clickable link.)
