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."

Jumanji: There are 2 nights to choose from for your division/brother division. Depends on if they run 4 divisions the first night or just two. So it could be towards the end of this week or first part of next week. Lately, they have been running just 2 divisions during week before PIR week, so my guess is yours will be at the beginning of PIR week.

Contacts are allowed to be sent to your SRs, but only if your SR requested them. Don't send them if they didn't request them. You can include a SMALL bottle of the fluid. Label the pkg with what they are. They can wear these at PIR or for their piks.

JudiG: I will friend request or message you the BattleStations info for 936.
Good Afternoon Everyone!

You are correct, korymae!
Battlestations dates are not to be put on these main PIR groups, nor on the Discussion Forum groups as they are public and anyone can see them. Please private message them to diannep (she keeps track of them to provide to family who don't get the info in letters from their SRs) and to each other if you are in the same divisions~~ Thanks!

I had a "light bulb" moment yesterday. This Thursday will be the last letters we will get from my son until we see him at PIR. We fly out the next Thursday, so we won't get his letters until we get back. Wow, it kinda snuck up on us.
