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."

Thought it might be nice for everybody to say where they are staying for PIR as a means of knowing who will be in the same place, taking the shuttles, carpooling, etc. and maybe even getting together…Continue

FYI, Lala Ribbon Queen is a member of our group so you can friend request her and she will tell you about the ribbons she does. In fact, she may have already posted some info to this group if you go back and look at old posts. Her profile pic is a bunch of ribbons.

Jessica, no fair with having us read something like that. I started bawling - tears streaming down my face and onto my desk (had to move my keyboard). I can't even fathom how I'm going to contain myself, especially with as emotional as I have been since seeing him at the curb at the airport to say good bye last month!! I've always promised my kids that I will maintain composure at things like this, but .... all bets are off!

Everyone, my Bad! Lala Ribbon Queen is the lady where you can get the ribbons for PIR not Lala Ribbon Lady, Sorry. I think she has posted on our group before. I will double check that though.

I get the feeling that those recruits that went in the week of Nov. 22 are about a week behind where they would be w/o the holiday. So..... I am not expecting a phone call because this would really be week 2 instead of 3. If I get a call I'll be thrilled but since they are behind on letters it makes since they will probably be behind on phone calls as well.
