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."

If you think that I'm doing this to cause you problems or to try to spam you...sorry but I'm trying to HELP you find your PIR group. It is full of all the N4M's whose rcts are going to graduate with yours. Some that are even in the same division and possibly even friends with your rct.
