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 09 Divsion 076 PINK
Hello all fellow shipmothers, girlfriends, best friends, aunties, grammas, sisters, etc...
Just wondering who is in the same ship and division as my son. I live in Wisconsin and will be staying at the Navy Lodge for the PIR ceremony.
My son will be going to Groton after PIR. I haven't gotten a phone call from him yet but am excited to hear from him.
YOU?

It's good that my son isn't the only one. He told my husband that the division did well on some written test and they were able to carry an extra flag, which apparently is a big deal. In fact, my SR got to hold one of the flags!

Is that what the flags are, sticks? So...those two must know each other, I mean if there are only 3 flags being carried? Or...do they march multiple times during the week? I am so not-knowing!

I forgot what Trivia Tuesday is, but if it involves doing anything on the internet, I won't be able to do it at work. Our cell phones are not allowed and we have limited access to the internet. But good luck....
