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."

Ok maybe a dumb question, but just any blue candle? Or do we order one? Jenny

My son already pir'd but know I will burn the blue candle Friday for the recruits as they become Sailors. God Bless them

I am flying in with my sister and friend we hope to be able to make it. I have a question though. This graduation date seems very early. My son is in Div 62 and went in on November 17th. I know of one other parent that her son went in on November 17th and he is not expected to graduate until the 15th or 23rd.

Sorry, live in Milwaukee, so I can't be there for the meet and greet, but looking forward to meeting everyone on Friday!

I'm sending the information to the 4 who will be attending PIR for my grandson
on the 9th. They are coming from California and North Carolina so not sure
about their arrival schedule. I wish everyone a safe and easy trip and love to
be able to be there. Suzy

I just saw that I hadn't responded here. It will only be Jim and me at Flanagan's. Cait is starting her new job on the 7th and can't come. We'll be connected by cell phones, though, so she should be able to call Matt and have him answer while he's with us, at least!

Hi,
We will not be able to make the meet and greet. Our flight arrives at O'Hare at 9:30 PM. I look forward to meeting everyone at PIR. I cannot find the information on the package gift we can buy for our sons. Does anyone have that website?

My husband and I have a son Derek in div 061. We will be there. Can't wait!
