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."

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to this site and this group. My daughter is in SHIP 11 Division 362. Please advise what this Meet and Greet is all about. I just made my flight arrangements to be there on the 4th. I am so proud of our children!!
I have a son in Afghanistan (Army) and now my daughter !! Who would have thought my children would have chose the military!!
Thanks in advance for your suggestions and comments!! -

First i will keep your son in my prayers and thank you from the bottom of my heart for his service!! The Meet and Greet is to allow us to say hello basically to each other after spending the next many weeks getting to know each other and supporting each other through boot camp! It is tentatively planned for 6 to 8 PM on 11/4 at Anastasias. That may change in terms of a place but not the time. Please join the chat in the main area as well. Welcome to your PIR group. I look forward to getting to know you!! Be made aware some families are getting letters today and more are expected tomorrow!!

I, too, am new to this site and group. My daughter is also with yours. If you find out where the Meet and Greet is, please pass it along. I will be driving down and will make my hotel arrangements this week. I am so excited to see my daughter again.
Another of my daughters just was sworn in to the Army and will leave for boot camp in March to Oklahoma, so I will have two children in the military and a son-in-law just getting out of the Army. -

I think I'm going to need a letter writing intervention! I've been mailing a letter a day. Tonight I went to buy some funny, encouraging cards (with white envelopes). I don't want to draw any unnecessary attention to my son. I'm hoping to get a call soon. That would be really nice.

Hi Taunya! My name in Andrea. My daughter, Heather, is in Ship 7. Div 362. Good to meet you! I don't know when you posted this. But, no "regular letter" from Heather as yet. Like Gabby wrote, the "form letter" was received last week. I can't wait to get a letter!!!
