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."

Why is it ladies, that just about the time you think you've got it together and are excited for PIR, that your nerves and emotions kick into high gear once again. I call it having a Military Moment! Whew - I need a Calgon Take Me Away ......

Thank God you posted that Kim! I thought it was just me! I am driving my husband nuts. I am so keyed up I can hardly stand it! Fine one moment, then bordering on nervous tears the next! Tuesday cannot come fast enough! Sending out what will probably be my last letter to my SR tomorrow...then praying I will be sending them to a Sailor!

Believe me...I am there too! My family thinks I've lost my mind! It's become my new obsession. I hope it gets better after PIR. I don't know if I can continue to live this way! LOL!
It's a good thing HS football is starting. Gives me something else to focus on! Now if only my younger son's foot would heal so he can play...it would be great!
I haven't seen anything about any phone calls! Yea!

I'm trying to figure out who everyone is. I am trying to put first names with kid's names via facebook and N4M's. This isn't easy for me. I should have been keeping track. Maybe we should all wear name tags that says our N4M name, real name and sailor's name. That may be the easist way. I'm talking about when we all meet next week.

We definately need nametags...they should have a pic of our SR on them too! That way at PIR we can possibly pick our everyone's SR! :)

Good idea with the name tags. I'd love to put faces with the names on N4M. Also want to make sure we have an alum group started. My SR will be staying at GL for school -- not exactly what for, but I think Seamanship school.
