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 02 Div 937
June 6
My son is in Division 937 and I am already so excited to attend PIR. Has anyone made their hotel reservations yet or am I the only one so anxious she did it BEFORE receiving the official letter?
So far I've only received the "I got here call" and "the box." Reminded me of birth -- naked they came into civilian life and naked they left it for the Navy :)
What a journey we are all on together!

Got our flight, and we dont arrive in Chi till 8;30 PM at midway, we are debating on staying near the airport that night and then driving early in the am or staying close to the RTC it is an hour and a half drive. and I will have my 7 year old who is austic and not a fan of change, so we have been talking daily about the airplane and such.
Anyone else get any calls lately? I only got the one, but my phone has been glued to my side, I also know they are getting ready for Battle Stations o that may be it too. Ugh so close and yet so far.

Hi All,
I had originally booked rooms at the Comfort Inn but moved my reservation to the Ramada instead. I just cancelled 2 rooms from 7/25 to 7/30 at the Comfort Inn if anyone is looking for rooms.

We got one letter last Tuesday (July 10) and nothing since. We haven't had a call in a couple weeks. It is SO close!
That reminds me, I have to print our parking pass! -
