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."

I found out today during the "I'm a Sailor" call that apparently my husband was among the sick ones. He had a fever of 101 degrees when they did firefighting and the gas chamber, but he still managed to pass and is graduating on Friday! Yay! I'll miss you too, though, JD Angel. While the rest of us rejoice over our loved ones, know that you'll be in my prayers. Best of luck to you and your son. I hope he feels better soon.

JDsAngel~ Im so glad that you got to talk to your SR twice in a week and for a long time too. Does he have any idea as to when he might get to go back into a Div? Hang in there and keep in touch.

I still don't know when my boyfriend is moving forward with training, but he has high hopes for Monday. If that's the case, he might be done sooner rather than later. I just don't know.
I'm so excited for you all and am hoping you all have a great time. It's way past time for you to be exclusively with your SAILORS, so I don't expect anyone to respond. I am, I admit, a little jealous, but I am also so VERY excited for you all! I hope you have a wonderful wonderful time.
DETAILS LADIES!!!! lol :) -

It is totally awesome being here. I wanted you to know, my hubby knows your boyfriend. I mentioned your situation to him, and he said, "Oh yeah, he was one of my friends." He felt really bad about what happened, but he told me that most likely he will graduate, and that he looks forward to seeing him soon.

Hello Mafe777, This is a very old posting, this division was for 2010. The group for the July 20, 2018 PIR should be up and running this evening.
