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."

Am I the only person who hasn't gotten a call or a letter from her SR? I'm starting to get a complex.

twosilvatwins - CJ'sMom is just joining our Group due to her SR's delayed grad due to injury or illness - so she isn't sure which DIV yet.

Her son is a special case, he had a medical issue and is graduating with a new division. You must have missed her original introduction to the group.

CJ's mom it says on the form letter which ship and division he is in. I thought we would have all recieved this info already. Maybe call his recruiter and see if he can get you the info.

CJ's mom, here is the link for RTC graduations. You would have to check with your son on which Ship & division he is in though.

I know my son will PIR on the 17th but I don't which division he will be in. Do you know how many divisions there are for PIR on the 17th and what their numbers are? THis way I will know which group to follow.

Good Morning Beautiful Ladies! TGIF! Our recruits have almost finished yet another week! Woohoo! Every night, when I go to sleep, I say a prayer for all of our recruits and also thank God for helping them get through yet another day.

I certainly don;'t know it all, which is why I'm here! My nephew went into the nuke program, which had changed drastically. Sure, I was an ET, and dad was Navy, so I was born and raised Navy, but the details change. LOL, like liberty phases at A school, we had many more freedoms. Still, some things are the same, and I've become an expert in leave and liberty. Except for your PIR group, the Navy never used to let fresh new sailors go home so soon. So I learn too.
