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."

Ship 10 Div 264
This is my first post on NavyMoms, what an amazing site with tons of great information!! My son Zachary is in ship 10 Div 264, I would love to touch base with moms of sailors in that ship. He left for basic on June 21, his PIR is August 19. What an exciting event for our family,we are all so proud of him. Still have not recieved a personal letter from him :( His form letter arrived about a week after he left. I do have a silly question, Is there reserved seating at graduation so that you can sit in front of your sons division? My luck I would sit at the opposite end of the room. Have a great night and hopefully we'll all get letters from our children tommarrow!!!

No they do not have reserved seating, but they do have a sign up where your son's ship/division will be standing at. You can either sit on the floor seating or go upstairs to the balcony. We sat in the balcony & it was really a good view to see them all come in the building. Beautiful ceremony!!! Make sure to tell your son that when he orders his pictures to also order the DVD of graduation.
