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."

So your son is in a performing division. That is awesome! What is he doing? Is he a muscian or former ROTC? I am sure you are very proud he has been chosen for this honor. I look forward to getting to know you as we go forth on this journey. I hope you will be attending PIR and that I get to meet you there.

A performing division means that they are either in the choir, band, or flag core or something like that. They usually have previous experience. I think 800 divisions are Special Ops and stuff!! I know so little, just enough to be dangerous...lol!!
