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."

My youngest son just arrived at Boot Camp 7/17
My son just arrived at Boot Camp last night. I received his call around 12:30 am letting me know he arrived. Is there anyone else whose child just began this experience? I'm nervous for him but also very excited and proud of him!

Enlisted boot camp, i.e. Recruit Training Command, is at Naval Station Great Lakes, Illinois, about an hour drive north of Chicago.

Mine also arrived 7/17. Can you believe it has only been a week? It feels like he left a month ago.

It is strange to think it's been a week. I received the package yesterday. Funny to be excited to get dirty laundry.Now I'm looking forward to getting the form letter with his information so I can write to him.

Join PIR 09/12/2014 TG 44 to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Divisions 283 and 284 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 is a discussion within that group for the two divisions.

My son arrived July 17th also. I now have the box and the form letter. So proud of him also. A little worried about getting everything set up for arriving at his graduation. Has anyone stayed at the motel 6?
