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."

That's great about the Division Flag! I have been told to be sure to order the division t-shirt when you go to the PIR because it will have the flag design on the back of the t-shirt - I know I'm ordering one or two!

How do you order Division shirts? I know I've seen it somewhere here, but there's always so much info sometimes I forget to reference it. Thanks!

I think they can order them before the PIR but I have been told that we can order them at PIR - I really don't know all the details. Another Navy Mom told me she ordered them at the PIR and they are shipping them to her.

I know and I'm even more excited to get one since it will have John's drawing on it :) He was SO proud of himself to get the front and back of the flag it was so nice to hear him so happy about something.

If you are on facebook go onto the US Naval RTC page - they posted a picture of some of the recruits that are graduating on May 13th - my son is in this picture - he's in the second row kind of looking at the camera!
I will try to post it here but I'm not sure it will work - lets give it a try!

I see one that could be Josh, but I'm not completely sure. It's hard to tell.

Just showed his mom and dad, they said that he is in the picture. And it is the guy that I thought. 4th row (the pale one with the glasses bending over). Yay, finally saw him in a picture.
