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."

Start off by joining the group "PIR 12/31/2015 TG 08"
Shortly, there will be individual discussions within that group for all the divisions.

My daughter is graduating 12/31, she is in division 052. I'm not sure how all of that works either. I've seen lots of ships and divisions posted but none that match up.

My son will also graduate on 12/31. He is in divsion 50 shipe 06. I don't know how you find mom's of recruits in the same division. I have joined the PIR group and haven't had much success there with building relationships with other moms.

Nervousnellie what division is your SR in? I didn't really check around, I had already decided on which hotel I wanted so I didn't compare rates. It's across street from meet and greet and pretty close to base

I received my son's box last Friday 11/13 & I received his form letter yesterday 11/16. He arrived at BC on 11/10. Form letter states PIR is 01/08/16 (for my son that is). Anyone receive their form letter stating their recruit is Ship 14 Div 056?

Hopefully you will!! I live in Indiana, so it is extremely close & he arrived at Ohare airport around 3:00pm on the 10th. I don't know how long they stay at the airport until they are taken to the Base though. Good Luck! It was like a weight was lifted when we received both!! Missing my Squeak (that's his nickname & he would kill me if he knew I put it out there!) But of course, I don't care!! :)

Hello. My son is on Ship 14 DIV 055. Our boys will be working together I believe throughout BC. He is graduating on 1/8 as well. This is our second rodeo (my daughter graduated in March this year) so let me know if you have any questions. (My boy is Bubba Ham or Spider Ham)

That's awesome! How did your daughter say it was? I am on pins and needles wondering what he is doing or how he is handling everything. Squeak is physically fit it is the "attention to detail" that worries me about him. Best of luck to your son Bubba/Spider Ham! (what a nickname!! :)~ )
