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."

Welcome to Your Division!  I hope you will be able to attend the Meet and Greet.  Just to make it fun I hope you will take a little time and design a simple flag to represent your division at the Meet and Greet that will be used to designate your divisional table.  While we will all meet together as a PIR group it will help you find each other as a division as well!  Show your creativity!!   Each division will have some individual issues because each division will be unique.  I hope you will find this discusssion helpful and fun!!

Make sure he gets Package A plus the DVD of the PIR. Do you have other family members going? They will be able to take pictures and such. I was unable to go to my son't swearing in becasue I can't walk. His swearing in was during Navy Week in St. Louis and was a big deal because his division is sponsored by the St. Louis Cardinals so I get how you feel. If you don't have other family there...I'll work with someone from your division adn I promise you we will get pictures of your son and get them to you!! you just focus on getting better!!

Also he said that he didn't mind having alone time when we come up.. id said id would have had a problem if we didn't!! Made me so happy!!! This has honestly brought us closer together!! My prayers have been answered!!

Congrats on him being division leader and of course did he mention this is also a promotion and with a promotion comes a little raise...lol...a little extra money always helps so he is an E-3 then....again I am so very glad for both of you and so proud!!
