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 see you have joined the PIR group; know that Divisions 197 and 198 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions. You may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) (clickable link). There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within both groups.

Just knew I would get a letter today from my son, div 194, ship 3----I sooooo need to hear from him!! Has anyone received letters from their son/daughter that are in the same division??? Also, how many guests for sure on RIR 5/17/13??

Debbie, join the group, PIR 05/17/2013 TG 27 - 10 Divisions (187-194, 810 and 927), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Know that Divisions 193 and 194 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There is a discussion within that group for the two divisions.
Since 194 is the last regular division in that TG, it is very possible that that is a push division and that your recruit had extra P-Hold days waiting for others to finish P-days and fill the division. If that is the case, tomorrow is the first day that that division will have "holiday routine" and will be able to write. (See Arrival and What Happens at the RTC and Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit.)
That TG has 10 divisions so each recruit will be able to put the names of 4 guests on the Access List for PIR.
