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."

mine too, Im getting so excited with each passing day.  And I got a letter yesterday which made it so much better!
Does it matter if he is div 270?

You should join the PIR 08/26/2011 and the Div 270 (PIR 08/26/2011)

Both groups were started as the main group for PIR 08/26/2011. By mutual agreement, one of the group decided to make their group for Div 270. Very gracious of the creator - so people wouldn't be confused.

I found out today that my son is graduating on August 26.....What ship is your son on?  What DIV?  

My son is on the Rueben James.  DIV 941

Hi I'm Holly G from Idaho! My daughter is on ship 2 Div 941, and will graduate Aug 26th!  We are loving this journey and can't wait to get the 1st letter from her! This is going by fast and need to make travel arrangements soon! Any ideas!!
