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."

My daughter is in Ship 11 Div 133 and I was so excited to get the form letter and a little note on the back from her.
Tags:
Got a letter over the weekend. SR said 133 has five flags as follows: athletic flag, sponsor flag, guidon flag, division flag and ship flag. I don't know if they had to "earn" all of them or if the guidon, division and ship flags are automatically given. He said he thinks they can get three more flags before PIR, but not "sure." He was so excited about getting sharp shooter on the Beretta and even more thrilled that he earned a "nickname." LOL!
if the information on battlestations comes available please let me know
Ladies, the 900 divisions normally go on Sunday or Monday night of PIR week. We can't post the exact dates here, but they usually go earlier so they can have time to practice for PIR. Other than the 800/900 divisions who are more random, the others DO go in numerical order. The groups normally start the Thurs night a week before PIR, but sometimes have started on Wed night (rare).
You all please read the BattleStations discussion for more info. I don't believe this PIR group starts BattleStations today. Thinking a couple of more days before that happens! Please private message me if you get a date for your division. Thanks!
Do any of you guys see 133 in any of these FB pics? I don't think I do...darn it. Every other ship except them!
