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."

I just heard as well that this is a co-ed division, I think it will encourage all of them to try to out perform each other, the girls wanting to show the boys that they can do what a boy can do and the boys wanting to impress the girls that they are strong and can get through anything. I find this very encouraging that our sons and daughters are in a co-ed division.

does someone from this discussion want to form the PIR 5/20/2011 group.? Div 174 is definitely in it. Easy and fun...just go to groups and click on +ADD and then name the group a simple name like PIR 5/20/2011. remember to save the group

My daughter is in Ship 7 division 174 as well. She left on 3/23/11 too. How old is your daughter? We still have not heard from Sarah, other than a phone call to her husband re: some paperwork that didn't get sent. He said she was "down" but I think that is to be expected since they didn't get much sleep those first few days. She is a strong girl though and I'm sure she is doing fine....but it sure would be nice to hear it directly from her.

Hi everyone. Just checking in~ Hoping we receive a letter sometime soon. Will you all post when you get your actual first letter? (not the form letter) I just want to get an idea as to when I can start looking for it. I look now, but know its still probably going to be a bit. I am hoping for next Wed or so. Some of you seemed to get the other stuff way before me so I'm figuring I'm on the snail mail circuit! Lol

I received the form letter from my daughter in yesterday's mail. I was so excited to get it!!
