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."

Same here... I RSVP'd to Sarge's as well. He seems to have a lot of relevant and helpful information. I haven't heard any details about the one in Ramada.

B daniel - if you go back to the main 5/11/12 TG 26 page - on the right there is a list of events. Sarge has a meet and greet every week. He is a great supporter of our recruits. He is a plethora of information for families. You can even contact him outside of the meet and greet! From everything I've read, he's an amazing man! I'm sure you can track down multiple posts about him through the forums! Looking forward to meeting everyone - where ever we decide to meet!

I just got back from my daughters PIR 04-20, it was amazing, we also met up with her friend that PIR'd 04-06.
One of her best friends is in your division and I would love to help out and answer any questions you may have before your big day!

New pictures. Positive that they show our guys and ladies from Ship 09 Div 143. Got the right ship and the right flag, and boy, does my son look different in those glasses!

Thank you for letting us know! I think I saw my daughter! It's really hard to tell for sure when you can't see the entire face... I'm choosing to believe it's her! I needed this today!!

Yeah, me too. Been a while since I got mail from him and longer since he called.
I had to look at the way he holds his head to be sure.
The flag made me hopeful, since it looked like 143 and the ship name was correct.
