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 am doing well considering... He writes me soo much so that definitely helps.. I get mail 2-3 times a week.. That makes is a lot easier.. I will be at PIR so hopefully I see you!! My bf has come such a long way since he got there.. He has told me his Division has had a lot of problems.. A lot of people are too immature to be there.. He said they are getting better though... I wonder if your son and my bf know each other.. There isn't many he talks to but hopefully they do=]

My son did say they have some recruits that just don't get it and they have a lot of IT. We are staying at the Residence Inn in Wa...? about 10 minutes from RTC. Jeff will be flying out on Friday so we get to spend time with him after PIR and at the airport Friday. We've gotten about 13 letters but I know his granparents, sisters, and several girls have received letters. He doesn't have a GF but a group of "kids" he hangs out with. 17 days:) Have great ones. mommaju

Jordan said that too.. Said his chief is starting to weed out the bad ones.. So your son is a grad n go?? I don't know if Jordan is but even if he is we will get the weekend with him because his Aschool is in GL.. Thank goodness for that.. If he does go over and sign into his school he will most likely be granted overnight Liberty.. Jordan tries to write me everyday.. He write the rest of the family time permitting.. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone and getting my bf back in my arms!!! This will be one of the best days of my life!!! 17 days doesn't seem so long when we look at how far we've come!!

We'll be arriving about the time it's going on. It depends on if we run on time. Do they need to know ahead of time? We actually have reservations at two hotels. One closer to base, but with iffy reviews online. The other has better reviews, but doesn't have a shuttle. As soon as I can decide which risk to take, we'll cancel one

Hello millerlite~ More people from the 227th :) I had a 15 minute phone call on Tuesday and was so happy to be not working. My son's concern was no Father's Day cards...only a letter on official Navy stationary. Told him that would be great! Time will fly! Read about identifying each other at PIR over at PIR 7/1/10. Good night
