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."

Son left today
Hi, I'm very new at this and I guess I made a comment on someone else's conversation. Sorry about that!! My son left today at 2:30. Anxiously awaiting his phone call saying he made it. He has been very adament that we not send him any letters. Says they will give him a hard time. I keep hearing that we should write as much as we can. I'm so nervous for him. I know he will do good. I think this is harder on me than it is him. I had a very rough time saying goodbye. :-(

My son was away for the holiday too. On Christmas, he was taken to a big hall with his buddies and they were given all the food they could eat and he called home two times- nice long conversations too.It will be great to be able to talk to him!

It sounds like he may have been part of the Adopt-A-Sailor program. That is for those in the 01/03/2014 and 01/10/2014 TG's this year. The SR's leaving this week will not be in one of those TG's. They will get a good meal, a chance to go to chapel services if they wish, writing time, and some down time. SOME, but not all, will also be able to call home.

Nope he was not "adopted"- there were probably a hundred campers at the hall..

The recruits do get a nice meal at the RTC and the rules are relaxed so they can enjoy themselves a bit more in the Galley. It was great that his RDC had scheduled the phone banks for a Christmas call. Not everyone gets one.

My son will be gone Thanksgiving and Christmas. Its going to be tough on me but really hope that he is going to be ok with it. I'm anxious to speak to him again. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Some who arrive this week will have PIR 01/17/2014 and some will have PIR 01/24/2014 depending on when the division formed. Your SR is one of the blessed ones who only has 8 Fridays instead of 9. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones). Join PIR 01/17/2014 TG 10 to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.
