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."

Hi zacsmom,  just found this forum.  May have seen you in the PIR group also.  Yes my son is on Ship02-Div936.  We live in California.  Where do you live?  My son left Los Angeles on May 25th there were 2 female and one other male recruits with him. What is your son's rate (I am still learning,but I think that is job)  I am hoping to connect with parents who are on the same ship & div.  Would also like to find family members of any recruit that may be headed to A school in Port Hueneme after PIR.  There are so many groups and forums I was up until 3am this morning just exploring the N4M's site. I have never done this type of correspondence before and I think I am already addicted to this site.

hi zacsmom, just me, my son is with yours i think. he ship 02 div936 also, pir date 7/22.

Hi sharon c,  that makes three of us so far.  Where are you from?  Have you received a letter yet?  I'm still waiting for one.  How old is your son? My son is 24 (his birthday was the day he left MEPS, BC the next day). I hope more families with recruits on Ship02-Division936 will join us here soon

Got my letter today.  My son left Pittsburgh, PA  on May 22nd.  He is Ship02 Div936 as well.  936 is Performing Division as they will be performing at graduation.

Note that you have replied to a discussion from nearly 2 years ago. Join the group, PIR 07/19/2013 TG 36, to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.  There will later be a discussion within that group for that division. The Page, 800 and 900 Divisions, within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will be of interest to you since you have a recruit in a performing division. I believe that Division 936 is Triple Threat. I invite you to join Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) while you are there and to check out the other Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) as well.
