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."

Oh great, thanks. I searched for that PIR date and DIV info and didn't find anything. The one I created on FB was before I had signed up here, well was waiting for my profile to be approved, and was just trying to share information that applied more specifically to my SR's DIV, others that got letters letting them know of various things and I didn't know and vise versa. Definitely never planned on cutting myself out, just a quick reference to be able to interact with that group as well. I think this site and the Navy one have been a tremendous asset!!
Thanks for the link, I appreciate it!!

I looked at the PIR 10/19/2012 site, it looks like there is a discussion set up within the 10/19/2012 group for those in Ship 09. There are 8 pages of comments already. The veterans moms mentioned above set up "subgroups" within the overall site for each date (set up as discussion topics - it's just the way the site is organized). These parents will take you from beginning to end.
Good luck. Here's your link to that "subgroup"
