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."

Welcome to Your Division!  I hope you will be able to attend the Meet and Greet.  Just to make it fun I hope you will take a little time and design a simple flag to represent your division at the Meet and Greet that will be used to designate your divisional table.  While we will all meet together as a PIR group it will help you find each other as a division as well!  Show your creativity!!

Here I am.. exciting!!!
Hello ladies.I got my DEARS packet in today. Also you have to fax the paper tonight by 12:00 to get your dental coverage to start October 1st or you will have to wait tilNov 1st... Oh and my Husband told me last night that they are able to get there letters that we have written last night. He also said they have time to write everynight but can only mail out on Sundays.
So praying for a letter this week!!!
We will get one. They sent them out last night.
Evening all....my son sent a letter and some forms. I need to add someone to the attendance. He said to look on "the site"....anyone know what site???
attendance to PIR? the final 4 isn't determined for a few weeks yet, he's in control of that. There's not much we can do about who the final 4 are, but some of us have extra people that will be going, and hopefully they will be let in to watch after the people with ticket are seated.
Yeah. You have to write him and tell him who all will be going. Then he puts it on the list. Each recruit gets 4. If you have more than 4 you have 2 options.1- Wait and see if there is room after everyone else has went in. or 2- See if he has a friend who is inviting less people and put them on his list.
Can't wait for the letter. Hope my son wasn't the one getting the others in trouble on Sunday. Haven't heard anything since the box and first phone call came after stenciling his clothes on the 10th.
Ok who was getting in trouble, My daughter is a handful and can be a mess .
I am really starting to stress. She would ask me before she left "Has it hit u yet Mom that I am leaving soon?" I always said not yet, Well it really got to me last night. I really miss my daughter, We both had problems sleeping and would stay up all night together, now its just me and this d@#* lap top HA HA. I think I have written maybe 6 letters already. If anyone else reads them they are gonna think man your mom is nuts, cause I tend to ramble on and just write or talk about whatever comes to mind.
I know the feeling.. I think this is getting harder day by day.. I do fine during the day, then night time comes and it really sets in that he's gone.. I've written my sailor every day since he's left. He probobly got a TON of mail the other night when they recieved it all for the first time..lol.. I ramble too.. down to what I ate all day..lol.. but I figure they're just glad to hear from us, even if it means we are rambling! We somehow have to keep being strong.. hopefully we will get a letter this week and it will help make things a little bit easier!
Nights tend to be the worst for me as well. You get home from a long day and you go to bed and your just wanting to talk about it and no one is there. It is sad. But that's where we have to stay strong. Sometime I will be driving down he road and act like I am talking to him and then I say God please let him know he is on my mind and I love him and miss him. I have to admit it does make me feel better. I pray we get letters today or tomorrow. It would really be great.
