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."

If they had not had to wait for division to fill or arrived the 17th they would PIR on 9/13. BUT 9/20 works for me too lol I know a lot of them got beyond homesick being on P-hold but this week they should start all the real training now that medical and all that stuff is behind them :) I miss my Bug also but the excitement overrides the missing. He was so excited about this choice!

Hello Ladies (and gentleman!)
Got another phone call Sat - could not have been more surprised and excited! Our son has a slight injury that has been keeping him from doing PT. He has been able to attend everything else, classes etc. We are concerned that it will delay his graduation, does anyone have any experience with this? thanks

Hi, I'm new to the group. My SR is Ship 3 Div 354 also. Have had several phone calls from him, so happy. Sounds like he is doing well. He is probably older than some of the other SRs, 23 yrs so that may help. But can't wait to see him at PIR. Does anyone have a list of SRs who do not have support from home (family or friends) that I can send correspondence to? Would love to help.

Mine is 354 also :) You might check on the FB Calls for Recruits - there is a list of SRs not receiving much mail or in need of positive letters/cards :)

Ok if you sign into facebook type Calls for Recruits into the search box and you will find it. It's normally updated a few times a week with new names of SRs not receiving mail. Right now there are a lot listed. I tried to copy the link here but it wouldn't let me.
