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 9 Div 247
I found this out from my recruiter, it may or may not be correct, and i really hope we make it into this PIR! Waiting on the form letter. Anyone else have this ship and div?
i thought i read that the 900 series div was for prior ROTC kids, and my son has 3 years ROTC, so i am surprised he is not in that div.
I am going to mail a test letter to see if it works!

I got a call from my husband today, he is now in this PIR. He was on ship 12 DIV 238 with PIR 08/3/12 now he is on Ship 09 DIV 238 PIR 08/10. Don't know why they switched DIV but he sounded in good spirit. He only called to give me his new address and PIR date so he couldn't talk long.

Our son is also in this Division. We received the "box" with a short "I love you" written inside. We also have the form letter with the same short note on the back. We cant wait for a full letter, although we told him that if he has the choice between letter writting and studying.....study!!! We will flood him with mail from home. We are starting plans to fly in for his PIR....
