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."

Son leaving for BC Nov 4
down to counting days until my son leaves for BC vs. the months & weeks! Keeping very busy preparing his favorite foods & desserts, planning the party before he ships out. Just waiting for it to all hit! Happy, excited, proud!! My son will be in the Nuke program. Any other moms with kids leaving that week?

A Navy mom at work brought me a gift of a Anchor necklace from "one Navy Mom to another" that brought me to tears otherwise keeping busy and can't wait for the letter :) Hope you're good as well.

Son left yesterday. We spent the day at the airport waiting with him. Such a great group of SR. We got out call about 11:10. EST.
looking forward to the box, and the letter. So want to know when to make our flight plans for PIR. -

Judy I'm with you. Hope the letter comes sooner rather than later. It's a tough time of year to travel with the holidays & potential for bad weather. I made my flight & hotel reservations based on it being December 31st. They can both be changed with out charges if need be after letter is received. Good luck to you & your SR!

My daughter left Nov 4 too.
I got short call from her.
Now, waiting for "box".
Any information about how count p-days ?
And looks like PIR gonna be December 31 it's possible ? -
-
-
Arrival and What Happens at the RTC will tell you about P-days and more.
Yes, PIR will most likely be 12/31/2015, but the week after is also possible depending on how the divisions filled due to the almost two weeks when no one shipped. You'll just have to wait on The Form Letter to know the PIR date for sure.
