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."

Sandra, I haven't heard my son's voice in 3 weeks as well. He did send a letter last Thursday and he sounded better than before. He mentioned that div 140 had received all flags but one! He will also be headed to San Antonio for A school.

Jessie...what will your son be doing? Mine is MA. Will you be at PIR? I gave my son some questions to answer and he mentioned a couple boys that will head to SA with him.

Do any of you ladies know anything about setting up a table at Sarge's Meet and Greet? I noticed that other Ships/Div are planning to do that.

what exactly is the Sarge's Meet and Greet? When does that happen? I haven't heard anything about it.

I just recently saw someone mention that. I don't know if its set up with Sarge or we just do it on our own

Is it just so you can "find" those in your division? What ship was already doing it? Maybe we can ask them.

i think i will be around and might be able to help out too .... table for our ship/div seems like a great idea at sarge's..... i can private message you my cell if you want help or maybe pick up the nametags, tablecloths or whatever you think would help

I believe it was posted on the Boot Camp group page by someone from DIV 143/144 for the 4/11 PIR. From my understanding, we can request a table from Sarge for our ship and he'll provide one. We're responsible for decorations, signs, name tags, etc. I would love to do one but I'm afraid I may not arrive early enough to set the table up. We plan to drive from Mississippi.

I will be there in plenty of time and don't mind doing it. My daughters will probably think its fun too.
