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 couldn't go to his PIR but we all watched it streaming live on the Navy website which was really cool. We got to see him a whole three times! ;) So your brother is enjoying it so far? Is he liking San Diego and Navy life in general?

Hi Jae! I just joined a couple of days ago and haven't seen much activity. I'm April and my younger brother is in the Navy. His PIR date was 7/3/13 and he's in Pensacola now, waiting to start classes.

I'm new to all this. My little brother left for basic March 12th 2012. I'm really excited, scared, worried & proud of him. This is nothing I could of ever pictured him doing. He was a really shy kid but grew up into a man that everyone loves & wants to be around. I'm happy to see there is a group for siblings like me. I miss him so much. I have a 3 year old who is so sad that her beloved uncle is gone so far & i have a 8 month old daughter. It's sad to me that he is going to miss so much of her first couple of years. But I'm so proud of him!
