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."

Cool--This is neat--Can't wait to meet all of you--I'll be the silly blonde with the Blue Sash.

I got the materials to make a "sample ribbon to wear to PIR and or Meet & Greet if we choose not to do the sash. I am going to try and make it tonight and post a picture by tomorrow morning. I am also working on invitations to my parents 50th anniversary party, and cooking dinner, doing laundry, bla bla bla, lol

OH, and Incognito Mom,
Check out the websites for each of the hotels in the brochure to see about being 'pet friendly'. Based upon past experience, I believe most/all La Quintas are pet friendly.

Incognito Mom,
No you do not have stay at the Ramada. Anyone who says they have a PIR recruit is welcome. I live locally and I plan on attending also
Comment by Always "Incognito" on June 9, 2010 at 6:37pm
I have yet another question: Do you have to stay at the Ramada to come to the Meet and Greet? I have a friend who lives in Chicago so I might be staying with her. Seriously thinking of making this a road trip, because it will give me a lot more flexibility with time (I work for a school district so I am on my summer vacation) and I wont have to worry about catching flights or dealing with ticket transfers or stuff IF my daughter doesnt get to graduate on time.

Lala- thanks, thats all helpful information. You know I was so excited to get the form letter that I just tossed the pamplets aside. LOL I have it now and looking it over, cant find any that say they take cute little dogs. ;)
Comment by Always "Incognito" on June 9, 2010 at 11:55am
Oh I am so full of questions! LOL So my daughter asked a few months back if I would bring her dog to GL. I know I cant take her to graduation and wouldnt if I could. LOL But are there any hotels in the area that will let us bring "Lucy"? Anyone have any experience with this?
