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."

Do you know where your son is going to A school?

He will stay in Great Lakes across from the training center.

sherrieq, I left info for you on your My Page.

Thank you, I have changed my status to unlisted!!

I think you forgot to click Save. You still have changes to make.

My son left June 10th as we'll. I have already received the call when the arrived at RTC and I received my box on Friday. I was happy but now I just want to get his address!

Waiting for this letter to come is so. incredibly.  frustrating.

Is anyone's SR ship 13 dive 238?

Join PIR 08/01/2014 TG 38 - 9 Divisions (231-238 and 938) to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.  Divisions 237 and 238 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.  There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.

BTW, you still need to make change 4. It is not a good idea to have your SR's pic up every time you post.

Will all of the kids who left on June 11th have PIR on 08/01? I know that sometimes, actual training gets delayed until they have enough people there to make a division, etc... But does chosen rating, geography, gender, etc have any effect on dates?

My son left on June 11th and he was able to call last Saturday and told me his division - which would make his PIR August 8th. But I don't count my chickens until they hatch, so I am waiting for the confirmation in his letter.

It's tough trying to plan, isn't it? I wanted to make motel reservations a month before he left! Ha!

I'm waiting for the form letter, but have also been told 8/8 for PIR and he arrived on the 11th.
