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."

yes my husband is in div 215, i'm sure they will get to know each other. haha my husband was the first division leader, but only lasted 3 days. from what hes told me there is a new leader all the time. yes a seven month old with him gone is crazy. i think the graduation will be hard for him to be good for the whole hour and a half. but fingers crossed!
Hi Nancy : ) Just was wondering if you have received a letter yet? Our SR's are in the same ship and division so thought I would ask you.lol I have seen some with a PIR a week later that received a letter. Hope you are having a good day!
Nancy, My son did leave the 15th. Were you at MEPS that day?
what is the link to check out what they are doing each day?
THANKS!
We live about an 1hour from Cincy... I would go ahead and book your hotel...
Hi Nancy,
It is a count down for PIR... I had booked my hotel 3 weeks ago thinking PIR would be July 13th.... Were do you live? I live in Ohio.
Hey Nancy!!

I am writing everyday, so as soon as I get the address be it from you or maybe the website, Chris will be flooded with letters. I may condense a few days into one envelope. :)
