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."

Looking for others with PIR 6/3/11 ~ Ship 11, Div 186
Hello,
Just received my sons first letter today! Made me feel so much better having more information. Much better than the day of the dreaded 'box'. Now I can focus on making those travel plans. Looking forward to the graduation and exploring Chicago! Anyone else out there with that PIR?

OH MY GOSH......I'm so excited to see this group!! My son left for boot camp on 4/4/11. We're from Boaz, AL. Anyone else out there from AL? We rec. our form letter this past week and also the "kid in a box" this past Monday. My son is 29 yrs. old and just now joining. He was very excited and couldn't wait to get to leave for boot camp. He's been away from home when he went to college, so him not being here hasn't been that bad, but not being able to talk to him has been bad! We are planning on driving to graduation, and we've already made reservation at the Navy Lodge. We're planning on getting to GL on Thursday afternoon/night. Our son is the middle son of three boys. He has a civil engineering degree from Auburn University and eventually wants to be a SEABEE. He signed up for AE because that was his best job choice when he went to MEPs........no SEABEE jobs available. So glad to be a member of this group!!! I'll share any information I receive from my son.....hoping for a phone call or letter sometime soon.
