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 2 Division 952!
The recruiter gave me the wrong ship number, so sorry about that other post. I just got the form letter, and it says ship 2.
Performance division! I was thrilled to hear that my son is in this division. He plays percussion, and hopefully doing something he enjoys will be good for him.
Anyone else here with a kid in this division? Do you know what he/she will be doing at PIR?

I've gotten three letters this week. He said they can write on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays now. I hope you're all getting tons of letters! (But according to him we may not get many written this week). Does anyone have news about the division in general?

For everyone who ordered ribbons to wear to PIR they have all been shipped even the ones that were ordered last night and this morning. You should have them within 2 to 3 days. PIR will be here sooner than you think and I know you are all EXCITED about that :-) If anyone missed out on ordering ribbons and would like to get them please contact me ASAP. I have a very quick turn-around and ship Priority mail so there is still plenty of time to get them to wear to PIR. Just send me a friend request on this site or an email to: uniquememorymakers@yahoo.com Thanks everyone for making my ribbons a part of your very special event.

Twinsmom I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll keep your son in my prayers. Hopefully he's on the mend, & is already back in his normal routine. I can't imagine what you're going through, but again, if you haven't heard from anyone, that's supposedly good news. Keep the faith! ;)
