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."

Join PIR 09/05/2014 TG 43 to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Divisions 275 and 276 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.

Son has been gone since the 7th. Got the box and the standard form letter but I figured out that he hates it there thru that letter... Call it a mom's intuition.. I know that this is the best for him. I just wish I could speak with him, even if it's only a minute. :( have been writing letters every day and sent off 5 of them as soon as I got his address. Just want to make sure he hangs in there!

Hang in there Mama. My son also shipped on the 7th but got there on the 9th.
He is SHIP 12 DIV 275. I did get the phone call ( to clarify some documents) and in the briefest of conversations he was able to tell me that it is tough.Not at all what they had at home, but I asked him: " Do you think you can make it" he said confidently: " Oh yeah" So even though it is extremely hard on them, they will make it with those letters from us.

Hi all, new here. My son left the 16th, and arrived to boot camp last night. I got the "I'm here" call last night and I was able to slip in a quick "I love you". He also borrowed another recruit's phone to text me when he got to Chicago. My husband is also out of town this month, so it's been a little bit harder than I expected. He is my first little birdie (of 5) to fly the nest, but he's strong and has a good head on his shoulders, so I know he will be fine.

AshleyM09, your husband and my son could very well be in the same Div. I am anxiously awaiting the letter and the box.

My son leaves August 1st! He has had August 5th set as his date since joining DEP in November, but they called him yesterday and changed it. I am now in a panic because we are losing our final weekend with him. The only thing that surpasses the sadness I am feeling is the amount of pride I have!
