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."

I'm driving up, my parents are going with me, thankfully. The letter from my husband explained that he would be spending Friday after PIR with us, so from like noon to 8 or 10..something like that. Then Saturday at like 3am he would be flying to Charleston, but that could easily change.
I still need to book a room and such. I'm sooo excited! :) -

Well, my dad had planned on going with us, but ended up taking his last two vacation days. My grandmother is in ICU and we're not sure she's going to make it, so dad can't go to Chicago.
More than likely my mom and I will fly up now. I probably won't book anything until January, I'm pretty much broke until then. -

I got my first real letter and a phone call last Thursday. Made it so much easier to get through this! My SR said he has been sick since they got their vaccinations. He passed the PFA and got bumped to E-2. I'm so proud of him! I thought that was why he got to call.

yay! Yeah, my husband said they're all sick.
I've been trying to get my insurance stuff figured out all day, and I feel like I'm running in circles. :( -

Is anyone attending the meet and greets? If so, maybe we can all hook up. Just a thought! We have booked the flight and the rooms. Sooo excited to see my son. We hope to spend every possible minute with him. Trisha - My son is going to Goose Creek too, if you hear anything about a change in time of flying to Charleston, let me know. My son forgets to share things like that with us! Happy New Year all!

my husband told me that we were allowed to go with them, well meet them at the airport at 3am, and sit with them until they fly out. They have to be there by 3am, but aren't sure when the flights to SC are.
If I hear anything i'll let you know. :)
I plan to go to the meet and greets, but Im not sure which yet. I'm planning to book rooms and flights within the next week. Once I know more, i'll update. i'm sooo excited!!! -

We're (my ex and I, yup weird but we are good friends and actually work together) planning on going to Sarge's meet and greet. Did you hear about the foot spray for Christmas? LOL!
My son will also be going to A school in SC. Maybe that's how they group the divisons?
My understanding is that we don't have to be at the airport when they arrive at 3am....see the discussion about it on the main PIR page for 2/3/2012.
Happy New Year!
