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."

You need to ask your SR if you don't have your form letter. The password would have been written in by your SR.

Anybody else having major issues getting the password to work? Every time we've tried it (uppercase, lowercase, different spellings, etc) it says "password incorrect". We've basically just decided to utilize the shuttle services instead!

Love2Sign251 - Are you using the password from the form letter that you received in the beginning of boot camp or the one that was put on the last (?) letter you received? The one on the form letter worked for me - all caps. The newest one didn't seem to work for anyone.
The Meet & Greet info is at the top of the PIR 6/28 page.

GrantsMom: I posted a comment on your personal page. Tomorrow is when the last of the I'm a Sailor calls should be coming in.
Also, we are not allowed to post the SRs' last names on this site, so if you don't mind, go back a page from here to your post and click the "x" in the box to delete it. Sorry about that! If all of your questions have not been answered here, please repost them without using your SR's last name.
