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."

My daughter Caitlin is in this division. I'm keeping all our SRs in prayer, but will add their families too. From her letters, it sounds like they're pulling together well as a team. I'm so proud of my daughter, but I miss her so much. It's hard to know that she won't be returning to live at home anymore. I'm crying as I write this and wonder if I'll ever stop.
My husband and I will be driving from NM for the PIR on 05 Aug. Any chance we'll see any other families on the way?
Blessings to all.

My fiancé is in the same division, and my future MIL is lisarobin. Do you know what your daughter will be doing during the PIR ceramonies? Starting next Friday, we will start being able to get a sneak peak of our division in the PIR photos RTC posts on facebook. My fiancé is in the performing division (in the band). I don't like to give away too many details in a public forum, but I will be more than happy to private message chat! Just in case anyone hasn't mentioned it yet, this site takes privacy very seriously just because anyone and everyone can see our posts, including division commanders. So! Make sure there are no last names, or any identifying information that could point your SR out. Again, welcome! So looking forward to meeting you, as well as all the 938 families. :-)

My daughter is in this division too, clean-up detail. She is my baby. My 2 older sons never showed an interest in the miltary, so it was a shock to us that our daughter did, but am so very proud of her.

Is he going to A school after this? If so, there is always that graduation too. Alot of people can't go, you have been there for him when it mattered and I am sure he knows that! What will he be doing? I can take some pictures of him if you would like. I will send you a friend request and you can send me a message if you like. :.)
