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."

Hi Ladies, been MIA since my husbands niece showed up on our doorstep last Friday night with her 2yr old and no place to live! Her life has always been big drama. ANYWAY, I am reading everyones posts and it is making me so excited! I cant believe we are really going to PIR! They say time is here before you know it, but I disagree. It has been 10.5 weeks since I saw my SR and yes that is longer than most, but even so, 8 weeks dragged on forever. I dont know about you guys but I have felt like life has been on hold and running in slow motion since my SR left.
I will not be at the meet and greet like I wanted, but I hope you all that are going have a great time! And to all of you coming from a warm climate, trust me when I say, DRESS WARM! It has been raining here non-stop since Saturday and wont let up til Thurs. They said the temps at nite will drop in to the 30s. So you will freeze your tush off! But, it will be sunny and 60 on Friday. Thats your weather forecast! LOL

OMG when it rains it pours! I think my plumbing took a header tonight...nothing like planning a trip and having your house fall in around your ears, huh? *eyeroll* Anyone know how to get the toilet to NOT flush into the bathtub? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... A plumber isn't an option after paying for plane fare. Dangit. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........
I discovered that riding the "L" from O'hare to my Uncle's neighborhood will take us almost 2 hours. I definitely won't be making the meet and greet. I'll be too bushed to get there - especially if we have to leave by 0500 in order to get to PIR on Friday morning.
