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 12, Divisions 269/270
Hi guys - I love reading everyone's comments, but would love to have the Brother/Sister Division members together. We know that our sons/daughters/husbands/wives/girl-boyfriends are all going through training together and helping each other out. So...hi...! :)

Hi Ohiosailormom, my son is also on 12/269 and headed to Pensacola for A-training. We are from NY. So brand new to online chat/blog...whatever this is. My SR called home for the second time on Saturday, sounds like a great division, working well together. They all signed a card for my SR's little sister's b-day. She was thrilled to get it since she was sad her big brother was away.

That is really sweet that they all signed a card for her!

Does anyone know if they will get "extra" time on Liberty since it will be a Holiday weekend. We are planing on leaving on Sat. but now I'm not sure if we should wait until Sunday to leave. I have read in a couple other places that they might get an extra day.

Phone call today:) He got to talk for 1 hour. I didn't get to talk to him but my mom, husband and his girlfriend did they said he soundd wonderful and that he is doing very well. Excited about starting firearms training this week. He said though that the section leader thing kind of sucks because he gets yelled at if things aren't the way they should be but he said the food is really good.

PIR is from 9 am - 10:30 am. People should plan to arrive early. We left on the 6:30 shuttle and were in the PIR Hall by a little after 7. A good number of people were already there. Ours only had 9 divisions....with 12 divisions here, get there early! :-)
