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."

Just got off the phone with our daughter, div 235!!!
Abby'smom, does your last name start with a W? If so, our daughters are good friends and have bunks close to one another!! ;-)
She said they were told they will get another call tomorrow, but as with everything, nothing is guaranteed... -

hey! I finally after a major brain drain figured out how to reply ... my last name does start with a w and our daughters are friends ... my Abby loves your daughter...she tripped the other night when I told her that we had been talking on here ... she really wants us to meet @ graduation.

That's awesome!!!! Nice to meet you!! ;-). I wrote to my daughter and told her you ARE the mom of the Abby she is friends with, YAY!!!! I told her they should figure out how and when they want us to get together to meet at PIR, since our daughter knows the routine afterwards - it goes by SO fast, but if its planned ahead of time it will go smoothly! ;-)

yes! I will get Abby on board of planning some time for us to meet too! I would love to meet you!

Are you going to Sarge's Meet & Greet?
-
-
-
yes! I believe there is one @ Ramada that I have responded to. Is that the one?
-

Oh ok, that's a different one, Sarge's is at the Sundance Saloon, it's the one with the largest turnout, I believe - we went to Sarge's in February for our son and it was awesome, so we planned on going to that one again this time, too. ;-)

I just rsvp'd the one @ sundance saloon. Can't wait to see you there!

YAY!!!!!!! Can't wait to meet you, too!! 3 weeks and 1 day until the M&G and then - PIR!!! Which is the best, most amazing ceremony you've ever been to!!! Can't wait for our youngest son to experience it with us this time - for our other son's PIR we could only have 3 guests, and our daughter went with us while our son stayed at the hotel - we're really hoping our older son can get time off work to go with us, as well!! Are you coming with anyone else?

Good Morning ladies!
Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons,FireTeamLeaderWife♥ aka FTLW and diannep thank you so much for the replies. I guess we'll just have to work our way through the PIR pages lol. At least now I can understand it better.
I'm happy some of us got calls this weekend. Michelle I know it SUCKS when you miss the call but you do have the vm to listen to over and over. When my hubby was in boot camp and I missed his call I was not a happy camper so I know exactly how you feel. The good news is..we're thisclose to PIR :). Once boot camp is over, communication lines definitely open up. I'll be excited this go around with my son since he'll have email as well as calls. Back in the early years of hubby's enlistment it was all calls or letters. Word to the wise for all the wives....separation at times is going to be the new normal so get your minds ready for it :).
