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."

Not recommending that they try to break rules during PIR. They are told and fully understand they can get in trouble for not following these orders. Unless they are staying at GL, meet them at the airport. You'll want to anyway. Perfect time to give them what they need. They have to wait until they phase up after PIR to wear civies.

You can meet him @ the airport and give him what he wants. My daughter also bought a new laptop @ the nex while in P'cola. We live in florida so we drove and took her clothes that she wanted.

momof4 - my son just returned from the rimpac exercise and is so happy to be back in SD. There is a website that I really like that you might look at. It's a live webcam on the SD harbor with a little bit of the Coronado base on the right side. Smee works in a hangar behind the "Dolly Parton" hangars. Seeing the weather out there and some of the action (occasionally Navy ships) makes me feel like I'm sharing some of his daily life. SunDiegoLive.com (sun, not san)
