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."

PROUD BUT STILL WAITING
As of today 7/24/12 my daughter has been gone to boot camp for 4 weeks. So far one call ( the arrival ) and a few quick words in the back of her form letter. I continue to write every week to uplift her in case she's having a hard time. I have seen so many parents talk about letters and phone calls. I run to the mail everyday hoping to receive just one letter. I miss my kid so much. Any one else with a loved one in the same division ship 09 division 266. I know she's ok. Just wanna hear her voice. Thanks in advance to those who respond

Hello I'm on same PIR as you . I notice you're on the PIR group here , inside group at top of chat inside discussions there is a mini group for your 9/266.you can ask about letters calls in there since they're in exact situation . Also we have a Facebook group for PIR that has sev of your div in it too plus separate Facebook div group .. By no means am I saying to leave here !.. But in addition to open chances to find more people .
I'm on phone can't do links right now .. But I can later today from another computer if you're interested in Facebook .
I have gotten 2 letters and 1 call and he always says how busy he is . And remember even though it's very hard that Navy motto " no news is good news"
