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."

hey everyone....our son is Ship 13 Div 127. I was just wandering if anyone has heard from their son or daughter lately? We havent talked to our son since 02/16. We did get a letter from him on 02/22 but thats been the last we've heard from him. He's never been much on writing so we never expected many letters. His PIR date, as far as we know is still scheduled for 03/22. I've learned that no news really is good news but just worried about him. We were also wandering about gate passes to his graduation. Do we print these off and will he mail them to us? If anyone has heard from their child or knows how the division is doing please let me know or if anyone knows how the gate passes work I would really appreciate your help. Thank you all so much.

Ebennett, no phone calls this weekend for anyone. One the letter you got "the official one" there is a password for you to print the parking pass. We should be able to print them about 11 days before PIR
Here is the facebook page for our graduation https://www.facebook.com/groups/334073426696831/ Come join us.

Ebennet... My son is in Ship 13 Div 127 also. I got a letter from him Wednesday that he wrote the Sunday before. Sounds like he personally is doing well and he didn't say anything about anything going wrong in the division, So hopefully that means all is well! I know that this past week should have been hell week and it sounds like from others that we might not get another call until the "I'm a sailor" call. I have not gotten a call either since the 16th. Hope the info helps!

Thank you all so much. Its so good to talk to other moms. We are first timers at all this so I'll admit I'm totally in the dark. I dont think we'll need a parking pass, the place we're staying has shuttle service to the PIR. My father in law had found a website to print out Gate Passes and I didnt know if we needed to print those out or our son would send them to us? Thank you so much for the fb link, I will definitely check that out. DaltonsMom I keep sending letters and hoping and praying they are all ok. I'll admit I dont know what hell week is but I can imagine its pretty bad. I think you're probably right we probably won't get another call until the "I'm a sailor" call. Thank you all again, I appreciate the info sooo much.

Getting my flight and hotel stuff together just wondering about shuttle from airport to hotel since I don't drive and plan to stay at hotel with shuttle for graduation. Any suggestions? Saw that for regular shuttle it's 59 dollars per person or 87 for limo for up to six people. Was wondering if anyone knows about this and is willing to go in together for this option so we can all save?
