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 Jennfier -
My son's PIR is the 22nd also. I spoke with him briefly the other day and he said that his div and ship are still on schedule. Ship 03 Div 26...They also say that if you don't hear any different then it's safe to assume they're on target. If they are going to have a delay, I think they're allowed a call home to advise you of that.

You won't know for sure until you get the "I'm a Sailor" call, which can be less than 24 hours prior to PIR.
