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."

I think I am much closer than you guys. I am in Ohio. I hope you guys get yours tomorrow. I had a note on the door, signed saying to please leave the package from Great Lakes on the porch. He took my signature and left the package. Can't wait to hear about all of you getting yours soon. No note from my SR :(

My son left March 4, 2014. How do you know the division? Should I talk to recruiter? I got the box, but there was no note or anything. Been a week today we left him with recruiter. Did I miss something?? I think that was the longest week of my life!!! LOL!

Wait on the form letter. It will be coming this week. Most receive it around 10 days after arrival. Yes, the recruiter may have that info, but the info from the recruiter is sometimes wrong. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit.
Check your My Page.

Rochelle, Congrats on getting the box! I was hoping to have it, but was thinking it might not be there, so exciting to see. I don't know my daughters Division yet either. I guess we should have it about Friday since LemonElephant said about day 10. Hope we are all in the same PIR date....

Hi Everyone! My son left March 6th from Ohio. This past weekend was very hard and seemed very long. My two younger children and I have already written letters, just waiting to send them! I have found this site to have an amazing amount of information and I'm so thankful it is available to us. One thing I'm definitely learning is to be patient (I'm a work in progress!!) Looking forward to the letter & box and then trying to look ahead again as he will go on to nuke school after PIR. I'm very proud as I can see so are all of you!
