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."

We will be at PIR. I wish my son was going to Pensacola since we live near Daytona but no such luck he is going to Tx.
Claudia he should have gotten that info. when he did his soft swear. My son knew back in July. What is his job and maybe we can narrow it down for you.

Hi Cody's Babydoll, My son Anthony is in the same ship/division. Where are you flying from? Isn't it nerve racking to try to figure all this stuff out?

Im flying from Texas! Yes it is but Im slowly learning it!

Yeah! Longhorn country!! I guess you could be from anywhere, ha ha! So what is your name, other than Cody's Babydoll? Very sweet, by the way. I suppose we'll meet at PIR, can't wait!! I understand that staying in Gurnee rather than Waukegan has it's benefits... more national chain restaurants and more to do. It's about the same distance away from base too. What a nerve racking situation we're all in. Having to make these plans without knowing when, what, or how, ugh!!!
Good luck with all your planning and I'll make sure I find you.

Rose what airport do u suggest I book my flight to? What hotels, if you know would be best as location and closest to base where we will be for PIR. I am looking and it's so stressful since I know nothing any where in that area. Do you think it will still be cold when we go to PIR?
Any helpful information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
