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."

If PIR date is listed on this website is that the actual date since I haven't officially heard from my SR? He mailed out the official paperwork without his grad date listed. Is it ok to make travel arrangements?

My son is on Shop 09 Div 427. We received a call yesterday. Made my day. I received a call also last Saturday also. He was promoted to leadership. We are so proud. He said they could not start sending letters until today. So hopefully we start getting them soon.

Hi, my SR told me Saturday that her letters to us we're being held. Did SR know why their letters were being held? It doesn't make sense, but to know they will now be mailed is exciting.

I also got my first letter today. My son is in Division 428. He said it's like bad summer camp where you don't get much sleep and you do PT, IT and get yelled at all the time! It was actually a pretty positive letter - said the food is good and it is pretty easy, but not sure what the tests will be like. We are all looking forward to November 8th!!
