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."

They will go with a set of brother divisions (same night), most likely.

They don't have a brother division so they usually tag on to a set of brothers or go by themselves. In rare cases, a PIR group may have two 900 divisions which means that they go together. Sometimes the 900 and 800 divisions go through together....but as you can see by this group, not every group has an 800 (Spec Ops) div.

Last week when my husband called he said it would be July 21st. He wasn't 100% sure, but said more than likely that was the date.

Gidget, Pretty sure that 235+236 will go this Thurs, 7/21. But hope to get someone to confirm that date! They will be first to go since they are lowest-numbered divisions. I will put that up top on the schedule with a ? since Dallas thinks that is the date as well.
