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."

Hi my name isJennifer my son is also in ship 3 div 184, he is 19 and we are missing him so much, he also left on the 13th. we live in Ohio and cannot wait to see him, or just get a letter or a call. I feel so disconnected right now, i just read the chats and blogs to feel closer. These have felt like 2 of the longest weeks!

Join the group, PIR 05/10/2013 TG 26 11 Divisions (177-186 and 926), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Know that Divisions 183 and 184 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There is a discussion within that group for the two divisions.
You may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups. I especially recommend that you check out OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes To Your Profile) because you may need to make at least the first 2 changes at the bottom.

Got my call last night too. I can not put into words how wonderful and positive he sounded. Found out they moved his group from ship11 (being remodeled) to Ship 9. Now after I bought all the pictured stationary for ship 11. I guess I can return. Got CAFE PRESS or ZAZZLE for some fun postcards and notecards. I also found out they picked him for YOEMAM ! Gets him moving around base a bit :-) My heart beats a little easier now. PT is no problem....I just worry about the tests. Take care and GOD bless. HAPPY EASTER
