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."

Yes, I was there with my daughter and granddaughter. I think we were the only 2 families there. His recruiter just gave me his address and a PIR date of 11/9. I would still feel better if I received the letter but I'm sure it will come soon. What part of Maryland are you from? Reisterstown / owings Mills here.

Join the group, PIR 11/09/2012 TG 52 (clickable link), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Know that Divisions 371 and 372 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There will soon be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.
