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 daughter is also on the same ship and division, she wrote on her form letter that this is the flag division and that they will perform at graduation..

My son left on Tuesday, May 11. Got the box on Friday with his belongings, the form letter I received on Monday, with his address: ship 03 div 218. His graduation date is scheduled for July 1! I can hardly believe it! My daughter is scheduled to have a c-section delivering twins on June 30th. Can you believe it! Guess I'll watch my first grandchildren being born and then run to the airport to get to Chicago to watch my son graduate the next morning. Would love to hear from others in the same division! Can't wait for graduation.

My daughter arrived at BC on the night of May 10. I received the box last Friday, but no form letter yet! Arrrrgh! Much as I'd love to see her go through PIR earlier rather than later, July 1 is not a good time to be in Chicago. I was hoping for July 8. Guess we'll see ...

My son's PIR is July 8. Works out great because his brother graduates from AIT July 1.

Just found out not so great...they both graduate on July 8.

wow.... you will have a whirlwind of emotions that week! Congrats will be in order all the way around. I hope to get my address today since the box came yesterday.

Son left on May 11 and got the "kid in a box" today. Hubby dumped the clothing on the floor and our Pekingese (SR's Dog) sniffed the clothes and promptly rolled himself into the pile! We left one shirt out for him to lie on and the rest went into the washer! We will be looking for the form letter next. Yay! :)

awwww... see even the animals miss their SR

Oh my goodness, since being on this website I think I have gotten a little weird, on it all the time, reading everything, etc. Just got sooooo excited reading one of the blogs, same ship same division etc. ....it was mine! ok, need to take a break! hahahaha

LOL..I find myself checking in all the time.... I even sneak a peak at work! I"m so there with you. I think that at least this is some kind of connection that we can feel while they are gone.
