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."

Ship 9 Div 169.... anyone else have a recruit here?
My son arrived at BC on March 13th. My daughter-in-law just received his address info from his recruiter. We have NOT received his "box" nor his form letter yet. Has anyone received any info from their son or daughter that arrived around this same time? I woul like to connect with other families who have a member of this same ship / div.

Connie, on the main Boot Camp Moms page there is a link that tells you all about PIR weekend. There is so much information all over this site so read all you can!
ProudMomma13, the box should be coming shortly. Fedex will deliver it and it has to be signed for. If you're not going to be home you can leave a signed note on the door requesting that the box be left there. The form letter usually comes about two weeks after they arrive at GL. Hope this helps! :)

Looks like most, ir not all of you will have SRs with a PIR date of 05/09. That TG starts with division 165, continues through at least division 170, and probably 926. Here is the link to join the PIR group, just click on the date.
