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."

Join the group, PIR 07/20/2012 TG 36 — 7 Divisions (221–226 & 936) (clickable link), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. I didn't see a discussion in the group for Division 224, but you could start one for that division or join the discussion for division 223. Remember that Divisions 223 and 224 are brother divisons and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others from either division.

Join the group, PIR 08/10/2012 (clickable link), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. That will be the PIR date unless that TG is very small. There aren't any discussions for divisions in the group, but you could start one for that division or for the 2 brother divisions. Remember that Divisions 245 and 246 are brother divisons and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others from either division.

Like I said, unless the 08/10/2012 TG (Training Group) is very small (less than 7 divisions), then Division 246 will have PIR (graduate) on that day. You will have to wait for the form letter or for someone in Division 245 or 246 to get a form letter and confirm the date for absolutely certain, but I do believe that 08/10/2012 will be the date for those 2 divisions.

You should join the group, PIR 08/03/2012 TG 38 — 11 Divisions (231–240 & 938) (clickable link), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Division 246 is in the TG after your son's and will ave PIR a week later.
