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."

I received my sons letter that he is on ship 9 Div 428 but he did not put down his graduation date. Is it safe to say that his graduation is going to be November 8? Did your letter from your SR have the grad date listed?

Have been so blessed with the information from this group! My son is Ship 09 Div 428. I sadly missed his phone calls yesterday but thanks to the other posts was able to discover it was a good call! I will have my phone glued to my hip from here on out! Looking forward to grad day as well!

Can't wait to hear from my son! Haven't had a phone call yet. Do you know what his PIR date is? The letter I received was blank on the "grad date" line. Any feedback?

Nov 8th should be the date. We are hoping that RTC will post the divisions in this PIR group this week. When they do, we will post in the title of this PIR group.

Do the dates for PIR change on this site? Or do you think it's a fixed thing. I haven't heard of an official date yet from my son. Well, I haven't heard from my son at all actually. *sad* But no news is good news right?? That's my motto lately where my son and the Navy is concerned!! *chuckle* Anyway, I want to buy plane tickets for the graduation but a little apprehensive since he hasn't officially told me his grad date....just what i've seen on this site.
