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."

Hyperlinks to the newest PIR groups on N4M
I will keep updating this list until mid September so you can see if a PIR group has been started for your recruits graduation date. You can join ANY of these groups, and I recommend you do. You can learn a lot from a PIR group who is ahead of you, and you can offer answers and support to a PIR group behind yours.
Pass-In-Review (PIR) is the Navy's term for Graduation. Click on the hyperlink to get to that group and join it. The Hyperlink is the blue underlined words.
FYI - All division numbers run numerically throughout a calendar year, however there are also 800 & 900 divisions. 800 divisions are made up of Special Ops members, so there may or may not be a 800 number in your PIR group. 900 divisions are made up of recruits who have musical or performing talents (band or flag waivers). There is always at least one 900 division in a PIR group.
PIR 9/24/2010 - has 8 divisions: 317 - 322, 820 & 945
PIR 10/1/10 - has 10 divisions: 323 - 330, 821 & 946
PIR 10/8/10 - has 12 divisions: 331 - 340, 822 & 947
PIR 10/15/10 - has 9 divisions: 341 - 348 & 948
There appears to be no graduation scheduled for PIR 10/22/10
PIR 10/29/10 - divisions not defined yet. It will start with division 349, it "may" have a 800 division (823) and will have TWO 900 divisions, 949 & 950.

Okay, PIR 9/24/2010 is officially on the Navy's bootcamp website. It includes 8 divisions, Div 317 thru 322, 820 & 945.
That means PIR 10/1/10 will start with Division 323, it could have 821 and 946. -
