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."

Here is some information I borrowed from another PIR group:

so they dont need the ship number just the division number? I want one!
Cyndi: The sailors are given a chance to order these for themselves and family. But I knew my son wouldn't order any. So I did for him. Some of the moms DO wear them to PIR, but you need to order them at least 3 weeks before PIR to make sure to have them in time. And only the black ones are available before PIR, I believe. Personally, I like the black ones better anyway! So I would email or call Poseiden -- the number is on the form up above. You can ask you SR if he/she ordered any if you talk to him/her, but I just went ahead and ordered them. Can't have too many tshirts around, right? Especially with the logo designed by your SRs division!
nicksmum: Division number and PIR date is all that they need.
Do you mail the t shirt to us at home ?
Thanks for the info on the t-shirts! My question is are the always available for order? I would get a tshirt now, but if I wanted a hoodie this winter after my son has left BC, can I still order one? Sorry if it's seems silly to ask, thank you so much!

marineandnavydad if you look at the top of the order form, you will find the price colum next to the color colum.....I believe that is the second row:):)
