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."

New here. My son is Div 231.
I have received a few letters and a phone call.
Still trying to figure out where I'm staying since NL is completely booked. -

FWNavyMom, welcome! If you go to the main Navyformoms page, you will find a ton of info - you'll have to sift through a lot of info, but you can also do a search. There's lots of info from people about where to stay and how to get around. I'm not from that area and have never been there, so no help for you, but there's been plenty of discussion about it in the main discussion group for PIR 6/21.
What's your son's name? Mine is SR Allen.
Good luck, and maybe we'll get to meet at PIR!

FWNavyMom, did you see on the main discussion page that someone released a room at the Navy Lodge cause they didn't need it any more? You may want to call them to see if you can snap it up! :)

My daughter is in 231, I have only gotten one letter, but I got a phone (fast) call Mother's Day when she told me she is way too busy to write, and that she couldnt talk long becasue there were so many people that wanted to call their Moms. It was great to hear her voice though, I was hoping for another call, but now I wouldn't mind just a 4 line letter!!!

Have any of you received calls? I haven't heard from my son in almost two weeks - a few letters though. It's hard reading on the PIR 6/21 blog about all the calls & I haven't had one in a while. Is that normal? Hoping they're doing all right. Just missing him a ton :( but PIR will be here soon!
