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."

Week of 7/9 Shippers
My son shipped on 7/10. I received his box last week, but I am still waiting on the official form letter. Just checking to see who may have received the form letter or who is still waiting. Anxious to find out PIR date.

I just got the form letters!! How exciting both of my sons are in the same DIV. I am so excited! They are in SHIP-12, DIV-285 with PIR on Sept. 7th. It is so wonderful to have a firm date! Anybody else with a loved one in this SHIP/DIV?

Well as far as I know he is Div. 283, ship 9. I did receive my box on Tuesday (I believe that's when you said you got yours) so I am hopeful that I will get it today. It is only 10:00am here though, so I've got a while before I can hunt the mailman down lol
