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."

He is ship 14 div 227 and PIR date is 7/25. You'll have to let us know when you find out his info. There has only been one other person (that I have seen) that's son in the same div as my husband so it would be great to meet another mom whose son is in the same division!

Hi!! I got my letter yesterday with same ship 14 and division 227. I wonder how many are in the division and does ship 14 mean he will eventually be on that ship after A school

Ship 14 at RTC is the USS Arizona. It is the name of the barracks. My son is Ship 14 but he arrived in May and is in a different division. Ship 14 is just his address for boot camp.
