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 was wondering.. How do I know if I am on the access list? My boyfriend said before he left that he didn't know if he was going to be inviting me or not because of family drama (long story) but I want to know so that I can plan instead of waiting around. Does anyone know?

cori can i ask why you are not going to PIR? I mean if your going to be there

Cori-Love is the best motivation. It keeps me going when I am sad and missing my man.. (ship 3 div 230).. I love him.. He loves me.. and that is what keeping both of us going.. So just keep being there for him and he will come back to you. Don't worry its new for both of you (and me).. So just stay positive..
