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."

NavyMommy, Know that feeling well! I was so scared that the box would come and someone else would go ahead and open it! Was mentally preparing and talking myself out of attacking anyone if they did! lol Got home and no one else was there. Then I had to make myself wait to share it with everyone!

thanks...so much to understand....someone mentioned that it would most likely be a PIR date of Sept 14th...I know we won't know for sure till letter and then again till they pass (I just read for every 150 -300 sent in on the battle stations test 3 -10 don't make it) Does this seem about right on the estimated PIR date
