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."

Hi everyone :o) my son is on Ship 11 (previously 9) in Division 291 and is headed to Pensacola A school after PIR. Didn't hear from him this weekend :( but his letter from just after the 4th said that "Hell Week" was coming up. I know that means something but not sure what, LOL. I think it might have something to do with not hearing from him this last weekend but I have my fingers crossed for this weekend. Just a few weeks until PIR now, that certainly went by quickly but glad we are coming to the end of Boot and so proud of all our men for making it thus far and fully expect a PIR for all of them. Anyone staying at the NAVY Lodge for the PIR 8/9?

Hi QC Mom. We're staying at the Navy Lodge as well. As a mom, I wanted to be as close to base as possible. I think I would have pitched a tent outside the gate if they would have let me. Lol. Just want to squeeze in as much time with our SR as possible and cutting down on the commute back to base I hope will let us do just that. Our SR is staying GL. So, we're hoping for lots of time (relatively speaking) with him. I see that your SR will be heading out to Pensacola soon after PIR. I've been to Pensacola many, many times over the years. In fact, I think that is where our SR first fell in love with the Navy at the Naval Air Museum. We love the area. Hope you and your SR will as well.

My son is going to Great Lakes too! I'm not sure we are going to make it to the meet and greet. My youngest and I are going to Chicago a few days early to see family and we are going downtown Thursday on our way up to Great Lakes.
