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."

SHIP 12, DIV 085
My son is in SHIP 12, DIV 085. I've seen SHIP 12, DIV 083, 084, AND 086, but no 085. I would like to meet anyone that has a soldier in DIV 085. I am the only one in the family that will be attending PIR on Feb 12th. In fact I'll be flying in to O'Hare Wed, Feb 10th and staying at the North Chicago Days Inn on US 41. I've never been on a plane before ( little nervous) and I've, believe it or not, never been out of Calif. except to Reno twice.

My daughter in law to be will be attending-my son in in your son's div. My son is James & her name is Stephanie. I'll try to connect her up to this link. Unfortunately my husband & I can't make it-soooo disappointing! Steph has never flown either. I know if you look thru PIR 02/12/10 group, Genesis & B&Lsproudmama should also be there. They both have soldiers in our group. Wish you the best.

Well, you will find the weather here a little different than you might be used to in CA!! Hopefully you won't be greeted by one of our wonderful below zero wind chill days!! All kidding aside, I hope you enjoy your plane ride and your visit to IL!
My son is also in this division. We on the other hand have more people than tickets. All sibs want to attend so we are making them "draw straws".
I believe they are running battlestations on Thursday night. We'll have to pray for all of them! -

My son ,Donald, wrote that he misses sunny Calif. I told him one extreme to the next. His next assignment will be in Charlotte, South/North Carolina. From sunny Calif., to freezing Illinois, to sticky and humid Carolina.
I finally got to talk to him on the phone last Saturday, Jan. 30th. He left for boot camp December 9th. He said he would call me again on Friday Feb. 5thafter Battlestations is over. No sleep for 36 hours.

Yeah our ship 12 div 085 is growing. Aquarius23 Welcome. My husband is on same ship. Daughter and I are attending PIR. We also fly into O'Hare on Wednedsay. Are you going to make it to the PIR meet and greet on Thursday evening at the Ramada Inn 6-8?
Cyndi- Hello I don't think I have seen you on here till now. Hope you all can make the meet and greet also. -

I am usually in and out. Have more time some days and no time on some days. How old is your baby? You look like a darling family. My sailor is our "baby". I am going to try to make it to the meet and greet. The whole family is meeting at a different hotel that evening. It really depends on what time I can get away from work.

Bring the whole family to meet and greet! :) Our baby will be 8 months next week, she is such a daddys girl. What field is your son going into?

That's interesting. He went in planning on damage control, but wrote a week or two ago that he is going to be some type of engineer. What about your husband?
I'd love to bring everyone to the meet and greet. All depends on when they can get away. We're all within an hour or so. Two grandsons will be with us also. They can't wait to see their uncle again. -

He is Advance electronics computer field. AECF. Schooling is in Great Lakes for 9 months, so we get to move out there.

Where are you moving from? I am sure you must be anxious to be all together again.

We are in southern Oregon. We are excited. But my family is giving me a hard time about it all.

It is never easy to have your kids move away. Mine have moved, come back and will move again. It's probably your daughter they'll miss the most!
Do you have housing or do you have to look for it when you get here? -

-
We have to look for housing. Not sure if we want on base or off base.
