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."

Yay! I'm glad to find someone else in my SR's division. I hope I get my form letter today! It is encouraging to know that they have gone out.

I am going to book our airfare this weekend. We are trying to coordinate 6 people flying in from 3 different airports and hoping we all get in to the drill hall. December is not the ideal time to fly into Chicago but I will not miss PIR. My son has a friend who just graduated BC in the Marines and 40 members of his family were there. Being in San Diego outside I guess there is no limit to the number of people that can attend. Is anyone else from Ship 09 Div 013 going to PIR on 12/2?

We are going too! We will be driving from New Jersey. There are 6 of us too. However my younger sons do not count due to their age. I just finished booking our stay at the Navy Lodge too! I am counting the days!

Great Lydia. Maybe we can have a get together for Ship 09 Div 013 the night of the 1st at Navy Lodge with other families. I would love to meet other moms. New Jersey seems like a long drive especially in the late Fall weather. How long a drive is it?
