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."

Comment by MyAngel94 (Ship 14 Div 317) on August 16, 2012 at 5:22pm: Ohh I hope I get my letter today!!

Comment by awestb on August 16, 2012 at 5:21pm: Ship 14 Div 318 So happy I got the letter today in the mail. So happy just to see his handwriting. Only one issue is he listed on 3 attendees and left one of his sisters off the list. Can anyone please advise if I should be overly concerned about this? Thanks!

Comment by sharpmom4 on August 16, 2012 at 5:00pm: Awesome!! Thanks!! XOXO

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2012 at 4:55pm: sharpmom: PIR groups can have from 5 divisions to 14 divisions in them. They have PIR groups graduating each Friday, pretty much...although they do skip weeks occasionally. Sooo.....we don't know how many divisions are in this PIR group yet....but since the group before you ended with Div 316, we know that 317 starts this PIR group. All of the divisions in this group will graduate at the same time. Hopefully, next week, RTC will post the divisions in this group.

Meanwhile, FTLW has a "knack" for catching the division numbers as you all post them here and has it figured out pretty much by the time RTC posts!

Comment by sharpmom4 on August 16, 2012 at 4:43pm: OK, I am so NOT SMART when it comes to all this..My son is really the first military in our recent family.
