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."

Hi Moms!  We are in Redding, and our son; Charlie is expected to PIR on May 20th (fingers crossed).  We are so proud of him.  He is currently in Ship 02, Div 927. Congrats to all who have gone before him!  The family support makes all the difference in the world!

My best guess would be that your son's PIR will be July 1st (look at me speaking as though I know everything!)
Comment by Valtameri on April 7, 2011 at 10:38am
I know, I was worried about the wedding we have coming up in May as well, but fortunately I have two weeks between the two.
Comment by CTmomof3 on April 7, 2011 at 6:35am
Thanks, my other son was there for 9 because they didn't "count" the first week of processing.   So was wondering if things were still that way. Now I need to figure out what to do, what to do. as things will be real close in July.

Depends when they arrive, I guess, and how many divisions they are filling.
Comment by Valtameri on April 6, 2011 at 10:48pm
Jake will have been there for 8.5 weeks by the time he graduates, but some of the divisions graduating on the same day have only been there 7.5 weeks.
