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."

You will get it. Just figures they try to deliver it when your not there. I think they do that on purpose. Hang in there.

My son arrived on the 18th. I haven't read all 6 pages of this thread but have we figured out if they will be with the group that came in on the 17th?
No box as of this morning, but of course we got his call that night. My husband has been so scattered for the last week. :(

Welcome momstuy, hang in there. My SR arrived 3/17 and I got "the box" yesterday. You may receive it later today as mine came in the afternoon. Enjoy your day and fingers crossed here for you that fedex visits you today.

Hi! So your son arrived to BC on the 17th? Did you already get the form letter stating his PIR date? I can't wait to get our letter so we can start planning! :)

Praying our SR's PIR is 5/8 as our oldest daughters prom is 5/16. Hubby and I are committee leads for all the food for after prom and senior breakfast on 5/15. If his PIR is 5/15, I will have to miss senior breakfast and rush back on 5/16 to see daughter off to prom. Hubby needed home more than I as he is a executive chef for a living. Uhhg, praying SR made it in a Push division and when we get form it reads PIR date- 2015, May 8.

Just got a message from my husband, we got SR's box. If things go the same as everyone else I'm guessing we'll get the form letter tomorrow or Thursday.
May 8th will make things difficult for my work schedule but we'll do it.

Just because her recruit has PIR on the 8th does not mean that yours will as well. You will have to wait on the form letter to know if PIR is the 8th or the 15th. The average time to receive the form letter is 10 days after arrival.
