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'm dressing for comfort and warmth! It will be chilly in the drill hall, so our coats will be on I'm sure. I'm just wearing slacks and a sweater most likely.

Just found this group. So wished I would have been on this site while he was in boot camp! So many questions would have been answered!! My son was in Div 108 Ship 11. We had a wonderful weekend with him that went much too quickly!! Not sure when we will see him again. Dive prep doesn't start until 4/15 for him. Does anyone have any information on what they do until then?

Welcome SandraB! Is he EOD? There are a few moms with eods from all the divisions-maybe you want to post this the main alumni of pir 3/8 page so others see it?
If he is at Great Lakes for A school join that group as well!
