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."

My son was pretty strong. I did hear his voice crack a few times when he mentioned he thought about home. But I know he tries to put on a strong front for his little brothers because he knows this is really hard for them. But just knowing he mentioned "sometimes I have thought, man I would like to go home and see everyone" well that to me said he has had those moments. Keep a check because mine was pretty quick but I know the last few days have been busy. Also, check your messages....in FB where your private messages go....there is a place called "other" that they may send you a message. I didn't know that either. Oh yes, I have that page as a favorite too. Most of their pictures are from graduation but some do come in of PT and various things. I would love to see a picture!

Thanks for the info. Funny our recruits have the same name, my oldest son is TJ, so seeing Tjs mom is awesome too. My flight is later Thursday, my husband is a truck driver and is meeting us up there. Hoping they call, got to see his drill team at last weeks PIR so that was a gift. So proud......missin him.

Welcome Tylersmom, that's my SRs name too! Don't feel bad, my SR doesn't answer all of my questions either. They were supposed to call today. Not sure why they didn't get too. I would suggest clicking the links above and join the FB pages for our PIR group and also 900 division group. Lots of great info and there is lots of activity everyday on the boards. They also have files on each board with extra info. If you are going to PIR, there are several of us parents and loved ones attending Sarges Meet and Greet. If you are available, please join us. You can find the RSVP on the calendar section. It's on Thursday night and Sarge provides some great info about PIR and the area. Hope this helps some.
