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."

You got it! It's Drill, Choir and Band.
Some will also be door openers for the upper Brass and any VIP's at PIR, some will be "body snatchers". You will see these Sailors/Recruits at PIR going up and sown the lines of formations asking if the Sailors are all right. They are instructed NOT to lock their knees when standing in formation as they could pass out ( I remember this from my high school band days!)...they are there if someone does. There are other jobs too. Typically the 900 Divisions perform at the two PIR's preceding there own and also at their own.

I wish we could hear more often. The wait is hard. It took 11 days to get the form letter. He wrote that P days were horrible. So I can only imagine what comes next. He said he wouldn't be able to write for 2 more weeks.
