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 DIV 919
Is there anyone with a SR Ship 2 Div 919? If yes, please comment on the status of your SR and your experience here. My son is there. We are from Texas. I've already made our reservations at the Residence Inn. I've been doing a lot of reading online and found that this place has nice 2 bedroom 2 bath suites with full kitchen. I also spoke with a lady online that verified there is a wonderful free full hot breakfast and that he graduation is only 4 miles or so away from the hotel. The online site state the suite will accommodate 6 comfortably. I haven't gotten tickets yet as I'm watching the rates. I've seen prices fall as low as 200 RT. However the deadline for use was prior to my departure date. Chime in if you are going and will be staying at the same hotel. Maybe we can have a meet and greet night at the hotel or something. Can anyone tell I'm extremely excited about PIR and getting to see my SR turn Sailor. Yeah!

Call the RTC public affairs at 847-688-2405 and they will help you with password. You can try writing him to see if he can send you the password in his next letter...not sure how long it takes for you to get mail from your sailor. (Takes 4 business days for us)

Hi, My daughter is in Ship 2 Div 919. She's kind of hard not to miss, she's 6' tall and really skinny. She's from CA. I just found this facebook thing last week and I'm learning how to navigate through it. I've never used facebood before. We actually have family that lives a mile or so from the base and will be staying with them. It's good to know where you will be staying and which Meet and Greet you will be going to. We already have our plane tickets and we are still trying to figure out what our plans are going to be. My daughter seems to be having a great time so far. We have gotten several letters. It sounds like they are doing great. The girls only have one request, I am to bring bags of miniature chocolate candy bars. They are craving chocolate so bad. lol! We miss her so much. Our youngest will turn 8 on the 16th as well and she misses her sissy the most and can't wait. Our son is in the Air Force and he is going to come so it's going to be a family reunion.
