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 SR is in Ship 02 Div 950.
I got the box and the form letter, but no call or personal letter yet. No news is good news...
Did y'all know that Div 950 will be performing at the PIR's on 10/11 and 10/18?
I plan to watch live streaming of those events, hoping to get a glimpse of my girl.
She is going to A School in Pensacola, FL for AV (Avionics Tech).

You can watch the live streaming by going to the RTC website
http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/index.asp
and then following the link they have on there.
I haven't watched any of the live streaming yet, but I watched parts of some PIR's on YouTube. Super cool to watch, very moving, especially now that I know Div 950 will be carrying the flags.
Did you join the Navy4Moms 900 Division group? If you do, you can find out a lot about what our SR's are doing.
I had no clue about any of this, so I'm grateful to all the people on this site who explain things so well.

No box still today and just rec'd form letter last night.......no call either but I didn't expect one till maybe next week. I did mail off several letters to her this morning I was so excited.
Yes I saw that on the main site I have mixed emotions about watching - I want to see her so bad but want the moment of the PIR to be special I guess. My Mom and Dad have already watched some, but he was Navy already and was excited to see what it is like now days.
Mine is also going to A School in Pensacola for AS (change from her original Hosp Corp)
Have you booked your stay yet? Congratulations to you and your girl

I'm staying at the Navy Lodge. Sarge said it was a good place to stay, and it is only $66 per night. Do you know where you're staying?
I agree with what you said below about the Faces of Bootcamp video. Probably made especially to reassure mothers, but if so it works! I felt better after seeing what it's like there.
Is Pensacola anywhere near where you live? That will be nice if you can visit your daughter while she's in A school. I won't make it to Florida, but my daughter and I are both hoping she gets stationed on the west coast--Then I can visit more easily.
Congratulations to you and your daughter, too!
