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'm glad to meet you! The recruiter guessed June 7th when I last talked to him. Bad luck for me. I'm planning to be at PIR no matter what. My two other boys will understand I'm sure.

Hi Melanie, Yes, myself and my family anxiously await that first letter, phone call...anything. It does seem interminably long! The PIR date is June 7th according to his recruiter but it hasn't been confirmed until we receive our form letter. That is great that your boys are all graduating but also very inconvenient to be the same day. Our youngest graduates high school May 30th so it won't be a problem. I hope it all works out for you. Going to send you a friend invite :-}
