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."

JMom, I am thinking that they may have a week of down time because they will be waiting for the next PIR to join them to start as a Class.

If they do get some down time could they fly home or would they stay in GL?

Its time. Ladies Class 2 94 starts BUDs Hell Week tonight and they will be needing all the prayers and blue candles available to get through this week. This group is only 3 classes behind them and when its your turn the amount of support you will be receiving is overwhelming. Consider us part of a family.

Hi Ladies, just wondering about the photos. Do we need to mail our SRs a check to order them?
Sjtina, want to say Thank you for all the info you have given us. Truly appreciate it.

JMom your son can pay for them from his account. The only way you can pay for them is when you go to PIR. The place is easy to find, at the entrance of the base. If your son is going to PreBuds, you will have to come back for him a few hours later. I found that it was less crowded then.
