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."

No I didn't find him...but many of the photos are so small you can't see individual faces even with the magnifier. The current photos were last updated about a month ago, so he may not have been assigned a division yet. Guess I'lll just have to wait for PIR! Did anyone hear what division will be shown for this week's Trivia Winner?

Hi All! Just Joined this site. My son Jean is division 073 and is graduating on the 24th. We are from Miami, FL so this storm and just an Illinois winter is a true experience for him. We last spoke to him on the 27th and he was in good spirits but with a bad cold. He said his whole division was sick with a nasty cough but they were all getting better. Can't wait to see him when we get there on the 24th. We are hoping to take him to downtown Chicago after PIR. I asked if he wanted to veg out but he wants to do the tourist thing before he leaves for A school in Pensacola. If anyone is staying in Chicago and taking the Metra for PIR let me know and maybe we can trek up there together. :)

I've been trying to follow the Facebook page for the Trivia contest, but can't determine whether Jerry's division (074) has had a picture yet. Does anyone else know if they have a picture up?

I couldn't find them either MOMom and I have not heard what division pic will be posted :( I've booked my hotel room (double Queen beds) at the Navy Lodge (as suggested by some of the mom's on this site) for $66/night! Has anyone else booked their rooms? I heard some of the hotels are all filling up! I can't believe how close we are!!! I'm getting soooo excited!!! Does anyone know yet how much liberty their son will have? My son will go to Florida after graduation... Unfortunately, I don't think he'll know when his flight leaves until the week of graduation. Hard to plan anything when I don't know how long I'll have with him... but I'm going to enjoy every second I get! Ooooh I cannot wait!!!

A seasoned Mom in the chat room told me the SRs have from PIR 'til about 7:30pm to spend with their loved ones....seems too good to be true...my SR said he's shipping out at 2am Sat. morning. She also said we can follow them to the airport and wait w/them for their flight.
ThackersMom, the Navy Recruit FB page has a comment from base that they are hoping to have the Trivia winner's photo posted by Monday. Still don't know which division though! We are also staying at the Naval Lodge GL and I signed up yesterday for Sarge's Meet & Greet. http://navyformoms.com/events/pir-01-24-14-sarge-s-meet-and-greet.
