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: 12 Div: 058 PIR set for Feb 3rd, 2011 anyone else set for that day or have someone in his Div?!
My husband left Dec. 5th for boot camp. I recieved his call at around 10 pm. I didn't hear anything until I recieved his box on Friday. This past Monday I got his letter with all of his info. So excited to finally have a countdown and be able to have something to look forward to. I hope I can meet some other people with their Sailor's PIR date the same as mine. Can't wait to see him. I'm so unbelievably proud. The first week was the hardest but now that I have his info and some form of communication though it is only letters I am so excited more than I am sad that is gone anymore. I just can't wait to see him. So I was hoping to get in communication with some people here who have SR's in the DIV, or with the same PIR. Thanks!
