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."

Join the group, PIR 01/04/2013, to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.
You may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms, PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here.
I have added a Page, 900 Divisions, within Boot Camp Moms that will be of interest to you since you have a recruit in a performing division. I believe that Division 908 is Sticks/Flags.

OMG, my son is supposed to be in 908 also! I don't have his form letter yet, though; that's just what his recruiter told me. I wonder why some have different dates? I can't wait to get that letter!

Some who arrived on the 6th were the last to fill their divisions and are in what is called a "Push Division" and will be at the RTC 7 1/2 weeks rather than the typical 8 1/2 weeks that others in their division are and that others who arrived on the same date are who will have PIR the following week because they are the first in their divisions. That often happens for those arriving on Monday and Tuesday.

Really?! Well let me know when you find out. I haven't heard from anyone else if they have someone in that same division. I would love to know someone.
