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."

Oh yay! I'm glad there's some people on here whose sailor is in the same division. My husband left May 21st, and he's a PR.

I received the PIR info packet in the mail, and my husband had written a small note on the back. Summary: he's getting yelled at a lot and misses home... Poor things =[. But they're working hard for a reason, and I know looking back on it, they'll believe it was all worth it

I got a quick note on the back of my letter as well. He must be flying under the radar, it was day 4 and he said I still haven't gotten chewed out yet, so I'm doing better than most :) Don't know if that still remains true with it being day 8!!!! I was shocked to see the note...he said he was being timed...so it had to be short.

No I just got the short note on the back of the form letter...I am wondering when we get a phone call...I have been carrying around my phone like it is my life line :). When I see the timing of the boxes, it took only 4 days and the form letter took 8 and that was including the holiday weekend!!!! If you check out some of the other timings I feel like I have been very fortunate so I am hoping for the best!!! By the way there have been 3 rainbows since my son left, I always think that is God's way of telling me, good things are to come!!!
