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."

Since you have received the form letter, join PIR 09/13/2013 TG 44 (clickable link) to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. If her PIR date is a different date, let us know so we can direct you to the correct group.

At least you will be able to watch the Live Stream at http://www.livestream.com/usnavyrtc. Since you have sent a letter, you know his PIR date, so go to http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date and join the group for that
You may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening, but you will also want to check out the other Pages in all of the groups.
(Group names within this reply are clickable links. To join a group, click on the group name and after the group page opens, click on “+ Join...” in the upper right.)

It is best to wait on the form letter before sending letters or to wait until 2 full weeks have passed, which will be Thursday, if you get the address from the recruiter without having a form letter. See the info on the main page of Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and within Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit and be sure to double check the address you have against those against those at http://bootcamp.navy.mil/contact_recruit.asp or Ship/Division--How it Works. (I invite you again to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones).) You can join PIR 09/20/2013 TG 45 since that is when he will have PIR.
