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!!   Each division will have some individual issues because each division will be unique.  I hope this discussion is both helpful and fun!!

if that's something you wanna design yourself, then i like that idea. the description of it sounds really nice. Let me know if you need some help with ideas.
Thanks for making us a group!
Flag sounds cool, maybe put date and Great lakes on it. and Rem we are not all gals LOL
Glad we have our own group now, just need to find and get the rest to join:)
Hi ALL: I feel somewhat overwhelmed as I am sure many do. I just received the form letter and I am reading all the info I can on this site and it has been helpful but a lot. Like how does jckship02div951 below know her daughter is singing? Did she get a regular letter already? Also, is this forum similar to facebook? Also, How do they divide our recruits into ships/divisions? Thanks!!
A lot of these questions you will find answers to in the regular chat! Come and join us. It is for the whole PIR group. 900 divisions are performing divisions. Recruits in these divisions are singers, play an instrument, do flags, or sorry G-Man do that gun throwing thing...lol!! This is not similar to face book because you have to reload. When your child arrived at boot camp he was placed in a division until it filled up! I hope that helps!
thanks--I just thought it was awesome because my son loves to sing and has a strong interest in music. Thanks for the info
my wife told me that she is singing too. Apparently anyone in the 900DIV are performers
Hi Darell's Proud Mama
I'm from Texas too - the Georgetown area (north of Austin). Is that anywhere close to you?
YES!! I am in Cedar Park! How are you doing?
I have name tags covered....kind of a surprise for everyone...lol!!
Anyone got the zip +4 for our DIV? No mail today tomorrow will be the day. Spoke to my son, needed info for security clearance. Div. Is doing good and was still in 10 day old dirty sweats, should get NWUs today:-) for those counting 20 Sep 10 Monday was their 1.1 day when they got commissioned. They are a push Co and will still PIR 05Nov10.
I wonder if they are all push companies because my son had been there since the 3rd and I got my first letter today that I think was written Sunday as far as I can figure out and that was their 1/2. That seems kind of odd but his sweats must have been rotting off his body at that point....lol!!
