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."

Where do I find out about the meet and great? He hasn't mentioned anything about flags. He is going to A school in Meridian Mississippi. What about your daughter?

She will be going to Pensacola, Florida for Aviations electronics... what school is in Meridian?
There are two meet and greets... one at the Ramada and one at the Sundance Saloon in Waukegan. Even if you aren't staying at the Ramada you can come over to it. I know that a lot of people are going to the Ramada first and then head over to the Sundance.
Let me find the links to them

Just found the meet and greet. Which one is the division going to?

Oh good... I know that one wife isn't going to be in town in enough time for the meet and greet... and other than that it's me and you :-) We don't have a lot of moms from our division here. There are a lot of moms on facebook from other divisions with same PIR though... it seems a lot are going to try to fit in both.

Meridian is for Yeoman. It's administrative, he wants to get into Law and at the time of jobs this was the closes he could get to that. I think in two years they can change jobs.

I got a happy anniversary reward call! He says he sees the end insight. Division 254 has received all their flags expect for the olympic flag. The letters they wrote today will go out tomorrow. These will be the last ones we receive, so don't get upset if you don't get any after this Wednesday or Thursday. Test 3 is this week, and the final PFAs. They are in the home stretch!

What do the flags mean? No phone call either, nothing until graduation? Hope all our sailors do well on test 3 and celebr battle stations.

They can earn flags in all the areas... scholastic, physical, inspections... for doing well on these areas. If they get all the flags and get a high enough score on tests they can also get what is known as a Battle E flag. This is a good accomplishment, don't know if they'll get it or not, but we can hope :-)

Is that for the division or individual?
