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've let ellen and FTLW know that you have received the form letter. Watch in Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and the group will be posted once it is formed. Join that group while you are there. There will be a lot of information and support for you there as well as in the PIR group once it is created (hopefully later today).

Join the group, PIR 05/24/2013 TG 28 (clickable link), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR. Know that Divisions 195 and 196 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division. There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.
