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."

I happened to be in the recruiters office to drop something off, so I asked for the address. Definately waiting for the official form letter before I send anything. I expect it this week sometime. I havent seen anyone from a 900 div post any PIR dates, I wonder if they will be different than the 20th or 21st?

Hi Angie, we got to talk to our son briefly and he is in the 900 division but did not have any specifics with his address. He did say his graduation was set for Dec 21st though.

Haven't received the letter yet but just got a fax from my son's recruiter. Said he was ship 02 division 904..... I wonder if that can change before I get the letter. Also, anyone else have that ship/div and know the date for PIR yet?

I received the box not address. Hopefully I will get the letter soon though.
