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."

WadesMom I too got my son's info today. He is Ship 2 Division 939. I didn't get it from his recruiter but another recruiter in the office. From what he told me they still didn't have the PIR date yet. But should be getting it soon. I can't wait. And from what I understand the 900 divisions actually participate in earlier PIR's. The 900 Division is for the SRs that have prior experience with marching and such my son does have 4 years of NJROTC under his belt. Anyway..... Can't wait for the official address...

GINALUV1975: This is interesting to me because my son has 3 years of ROTC also, i have texted his recruiter and asked him to look up the ship and division for me, i wonder if they are in they will be in the same division, he got to GL on the 14th? My recruiter is not in the office yet, so when he gets back he said he will look. Carrie

Carrie, if he has experience they normally are in the 900 division. My son told me he wasn't volunteering for anything but they have all their info. My son got to GL on the 13th. So they probably will be in the same division. And it looks like we are looking at a PIR date of August 10th. Please don't hold me to that cause it could be wrong.
