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 son is also in Ship 11 Div 234. I found this out from the recruiter's office yesterday, but then received the form letter with his short personal note at the bottom, and his letter told me the same info. He tells me they will be able to write *real* letters tomorrow (Sunday afternoon), so I'm looking forward to receiving more news some time next week. He also says PIR is July 22, which is what I expected. It was such a relief just to see his handwriting!

so our sons are in the same ship/div I did not get a form letter yet....maybe Monday...I just have to pray that he's still inviting us instead of the controlling GF and her mother, but it will be his choice, his dad and I will have a broken heart, but since he met her (just 6 months ago) it won't be the first time. Good luck to you and your son.
