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."

Ship 13 Division 229-230
My SR left June 4th. Received his box a few days later and got the form letter yesterday. We weren't even thinking that PIR would be July 27th, we were looking more at Aug 3 or later. I guess he got there just in time to finish up his division.

HI Wendy, We have a group on Facebook that is for anyone with a recruit in boot camp. There are some moms on there with a discussion going who are looking for moms in your division. We have a great mix of people who are new to boot camp, some who have just hard PIR or are about to and some who are experienced and can answer questions. Please come join us https://www.facebook.com/groups/327167160695549/ I am sure we can find other from your division for you to get to know and share stories with :-)

So I am a little confused. On one of the facebook groups they said that the first week isn't really counted--they call them p-days. So does anyone know when they say they may get a call in the 3rd week--would that be our third week or their third week (more like 4 weeks to us)???

It is usually during the third week of training or the half way point that they get to finally make that "I'm still alive" call. Sometime calls can come earlier for security clearance info or maybe an earned call for doing something really good. l know it is a long time to wait and the days seem to drag but hang in there the calls will come. :-)
