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."

Hi Lisa!! I'm not a mom, my boyfriend is a recruit in Division 108. Hope I fit in this group still, haha.
I still miss him terribly!
If you're not renting a car then stay somewhere closeby! Be sure to call different hotels and ask how far they are from base. I'm staying at the Navy Lodge because it's only about a mile from base. $66 a night is a great price and they have nice reviews. -

I was a recruit girlfriend about 19 yrs ago! It was so hard when he was in BC. Worse becuz I was pregnant. Just reassure him that you luv him and miss him. You are more than welcome in the group. Sarge's number is in a discussion somewhere on here. Ask and someone will point you in the right direction.

Looks like we have a pretty active group (Ship 09 Div 107 and 108) of Moms, wives, girlfriends and Significant others.
I hope our SR's are bonding well too.
I am so counting the days to PIR. I am a mom. There will be three or four of us sitting in the bleachers for Graduation. My husband and I and My SR's younger and possibly older sister. My son inlaw and grandson will wait at the motel. Kind of a bummer because my son inlaw is a Staff Seargent in the Air force. It would be so cool if he could attend too. I understand the rules though and we will just make the most of our family time after PIR.
My son is 21 and is signed on for the NUKE program. Sounds like we may have limited time as they are a possible Grad and Go.
Thanks again to everyone here and lets hope for some phone calls.
