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."

My son left on 6-17 also. He got there late that night. He is Ship 14/Div 271. I'm pretty sure they will have the same PIR date. So far, I have only gotten the call saying he got there. :)

You can find out their ship by calling the recruiter and they can get it for you or you will get a letter from the department of the navy which mine came yesterday and was mailed ont he 18th and it gives you the address and at the end there is space for the recruit to write a couple of lines and she had beautiful long hair and she said "they cut my hair" so above collar length well she knew they would cut it but!!!!!
