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."

My son left August 12th and I have no idea when his PIR is or what division he is in. :'(
My son's PIR is 10-9-15. We just received the letter yesterday. He's in Ship 11 Div 338.

Oh  my it is so good to finally have a connection with someone.  Thank you for writing.  It has been so hard waiting!  I do not have his address yet but hoping today and so happy to hear you got yours today!  His recruiter told me his date is 10/9 as well.  He gave me an address but I keep reading to wait for the official one from my son.  He also told me he is in Div 948.  I am so excited to get the address to send him letters!  :)  

My daughter is in the same ship and division as your son. It will be two weeks tomorrow that she shipped out and it doesn't feel any easier yet… Her graduation PIR is the same. What is your son doing in the Navy?

Hello Woman!  I am so sorry I don't think I ever replied to this message!  I am looking through my stuff and saw this.  Can you believe we are down to the wire now!!??  How is your daughter doing?  I was able to see my son holding the Wisconsin flag last Friday!  I am so excited and I can hardly stand it!  My son will be going to A school in Great Lakes for Gunner's Mate.  :)    

Im glad your received tour letter! My daughter left 8/11 and I'm still waiting on the form letter. I hope it comes soon.
Good morning! I just saw on the RTC website that there will be 4 guests per recruit for TG 48! Kathy, my son left 8/12 and we got his tour letter on Thursday, but we live 3 hours from GL so maybe that's why I got mine sooner. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get yours soon!!
Received my form letter it's official my SR is in ship 11 division 337 PIR is 10/9/15.
Thanks Deelyn, I received my form letter Saturday! I'm feel a little less anxious. She's in Ship 2 Div 948.
My daughters letter came on Friday, we are in Washington state. I have been on the road traveling and so I insisted that her boyfriend go to the house and open it up and send me screenshots of the letter. Such a silly practical thing but it made me tear up...at the top where it said dear and then there was a blank she put in her name that only she is allowed to call me… She calls me woman, and that made me laugh so hard, it helped me to feel like she is doing just fine!
I forgot to add that she is ship 11, division 338
My son Michael is also ship 11 div 338.
