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."

Awww I am so sorry Mae. But you are right. What ever it takes. My son was stressed. I told him it was normal. His division are ranked low and he wants to do well. I told him to focus. He will do fine he is a hard worker.

Hi, Glad to hear we're starting to get calls. I got one too! We only talked for about 5 minutes, but it was great to hear his voice. I found out he was one of those recruits who got his wisdom teeth out. It sounds like they're being told they can have up to 35 people come to the overflow room to view the ceremony. Has anybody else heard that? Looking on the site, it sounds like "first come, first served" for the overflow, so I know we want to get there early. If any of the moms who have been through PIR are monitoring this thread, would you please let me know if there is a way to drop off handicapped people closer to the overflow site? Grandma would love to come view, but walking great distances makes it hard for her to breathe (if not, she'll stream it online). Thanks for any insight.

We finally got a letter today!! We were so very excited!......Ship 14 Div 010. He sounds focused and said he misses everyone from home but is not homesick. He said his fellow "SR's" are all getting each other through the tough times. No mention of wisdom teeth removal...

Hey Ladies and gentleman, how's it going? Heard from your SR? I did. Today received 6 letters! He said a lot have gotten pushed back a week because of behavior. He also told me he geared up during our phone call on Saturday and when I asked him over the phone what's wrong, he said oh, I'm sick. Breaks my heart he had to be tough and lied to me so I wouldn't break down. He also said RDC are very cool. Crack jokes to make recruits loosen up. Makes me feel very good. DIV 010 HOWS THE BOYS?

I also got mail. Sounds like a rowdy bunch in Div 010. LOL.. I can tell my SR is homesick. He said he would also like to take a bath or shower by himself. He is tired of seeing everyone's stuff. ROFLOL Other than that, he is studying a lot and waiting to receive mail. :-)
