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."

When printing our parking pass I was not able to type in my SR's name and 11/62. Is it ok if I write them in? I would hate to get to the front of the line and be turned away for something so silly! lol

I hope not, I wasn't able to enter anything either so I wrote them in too.

Thank you! Received my son's picture package in the mail today...division picture was included. They look amazing!!!

Oh wow! I didn't know you could get the picture package before PIR. My son mentioned about, he ordered the package but didn't say anything about having it mailed. Can't wait to see them :)

He said on the phone the other day that they would be coming to the house and I thought he had it wrong...lol. He even ordered frames for a few of the pictures so maybe thats why they were shipped. The order form said he also ordered the DVD, but it did not mention the yearbook (can't remember what they call them), so I hope I can order one the day of graduation.

The yearbook is the "keel" (i think) Anyway, I heard you can order it on the day of PIR, and it takes a few weeks for you to receive it in the mail.
