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."

SHIP 04, DIV 820 and DIV 821 Brother divisions....
This discussion is for those who have an SR in Ship 04, DIV 820 and 821, PIR 10/14/11. These are brother divisions and will be spending a lot of time together from what I understand. Remember OPSEC rules and for security purposes...no pictures of your SR or names of SR. God bless you all!

Could I send a Verizon WiFi with my son. It's the size of a deck of cards? We never use it so I thought since someone said that they have no Wifi that I could send it with him?

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know there is a glitch in my message thing. I can receive private messages, but can't seem to send them out. Sorry. If you have sent me a message in the last day, I have tried to respond, but can't. I sent something to administrator, and hope to have it taken care of. Hope you all are having a great day!

Hi everyone, I'm getting so excited, haven't heard any more about my son's injured knee or broken eardrum, so I'm going by the ' no news...' rule and praying he's still PIRing next Friday. I saw the post on here about wifi and am wondering if any one knows if they don't get internet in Great Lakes BUDS PREP. If so, I'm very ignorant about wifi embedded stuff. Help, living through boot camp so I could get to the days we could talk more often:)
