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."

We can wear them to the meet-n-greet so we will be able to recognize each other lol
Me too!
No letters the last couple of days. Guess they have been busy getting ready for PIR. Anyone had any luck finding the website for our DIV?
no luck on the website. and no letters this week for me either.,... now i'm starting to feel bummed. that 1 week i got letters 3 times got me spoiled. i so hope they get their phone calls next week, i want to hear his voice so bad, as i am sure everyone does. i'm staying in waukegan, anyone else staying out that way?
is that in waukegan?
oh ok lol didn't know that....what time is it. don't know if we will make that coming in wednesday night but got to stop in chicago to pick up my nephew.
Still no letters for me as of yesterday. Haven't gone to check it today. Can't wait to meet everyone!
I got letters!!!! He said they are learning fun stuff now, trick drills etc. Said the RDC jokes around with them all the time now which the guys are loving. So it looks like our guys are doing great! He said the chief told them that if they are one of the top 2 out of the 13 divisions that they will get an extra hour or 2 for weekend liberty days WOOO HOOO! Go DIV 290!!! Bring it home!!!

Nothing on Captains Cup or BS unfortunately. I will let you know if I do hear anything. That would be great to send them cheers lol. I should have my daughter help since she was a cheerleader. My son would probably say " really mom? lol"

Captains cup will be a week from this Saturday for your PIR group. They will all have a great time and usually the winners will get an extra phone call :-)

I have had a bunch of messages from people wanting to know if it is too late to order ribbons and I thought it would be easier to tell you here rather than email each person separately. It is not too late to order the ribbons to wear to PIR. Just click on my name and send me a friend request if you want more info. Thanks, I have all your recruits in my prayers <3

Gpt a letter and he ordered me and his brother shirts, he said he was going to order more, but he did not know his account balance. Where do I go to order shirts? He also told me he was a RDPA? something to do with church. He sounds so much better...only 12 more days all!!!
You can call them directly to order shirts. Their number is 972-347-6655. Glad you got a letter. Always helps hearing from our SR's. We are almost done....well with this part LOL
