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'm the one who said it, and I send friend requests as well. My son is a little older than a lot of your sons (he's 26), but he acts a lot younger! LOL. He is a HM (well, he wants to be a hospital corpsman).
I friend-ed a bunch of you as well. Feel free to add me, too! I made this to make us all smile. Please feel free to right-click and save it! :)

Hello. Love the st pat shamrock. Hard to believe it's going to be a week the young men have been gone from home. They are suppose to have snow tonight and tomorrow. Hope they don't have to be outside in it too long. Spring flowers are blooming here. I'm sure all the recruits will be wishing for a little warmer weather. We all will be strong and courageous for our recruits and our families. We are Moms!

When the recruits are outside in the cold, they are bundled up so well that all you can see is their eyes. Some have indicated that they were hot when outside in the snow due to all the layers and the quick pace. They take good care of them and all training is indoors.

So, how does that affect PIR? My son left home on the 16, but didn't arrive at great lakes until the 17th.

By counting 9 Fridays, PIR is most likely 05/15/2015, but some who arrived on 03/16/2015 or 03/17/2015 may have PIR on 05/08/2015 if they were placed in a Push Division and filled one of the last divisions in the TG from the week before. You will just have to wait on The Form Letter to know for sure. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.
