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."

Join the group, PIR 08/23/2013 TG 41, to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.  Know that Divisions 313 and 314 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), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups.

Hello! My son is on Ship 12 but Div 299.....I think they are brother divisions with 300. But they are on the same Ship! Is graduation day August 16, for your son as well?

Comment by lemonelephant on July 8, 2013 at 1:50pm

highlyfavored, join PIR 08/16/2013 TG 40 - 13 Divisions (299-310, and 940), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.  You are correct that Divisions 299 and 300 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.

I also suggest that you join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening, but you will also want to check out the other Pages in all of the groups.

There are up to 12 divisions on a ship and they aren't always in the same TG. That is the case with divisions 299 and 300, which have PIR on 08/16/2013 and divisions313 and 314, which have PIR on 08/23/2013. See Ship/Division--How it Works.

My daughter is on Ship 12 Div 313.  I'm really missing her.  Can't wait for PIR already.
