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."

WilliamSP, 800 divisions are for those recruits with a contract in a special ops rating. See 800 and 900 Divisions for additional information. Those who arrived on the 30th, a Wednesday, are more likely to have PIR on 09/26/2014 than on 09/19/2014. See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC.
You still need to change the URL to your My Page since your last name is visible when ANYONE puts their cursor over your profile pic or Username. Check the comments on your My Page for more on that.

For those of you in this discussion, many of you have recruits in an 800 division; it's not a good idea to post that. See the info in 800 and 900 Divisions. If your recruit has a contract for a different rating and I have not already given you the info on the rating, leave a comment on my My Page and I will reply with the Rating Information Card, groups related to "A" School and/or the rating, and info to help you plan better for PIR.
