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."

When you first see him, they dont expect you to keep your distance, mostly it just means dont get carried away. I tried to follow the rules and Bret was actually disappointed because I didn't run up and kiss him. I hugged him and he was like, "well, kiss me!" Haha! But they do mean it, even off base. I forgot one time all weekend and held his had on a pier and a guy in civilian clothes walked by and yelled at him! So just be conscientious, but dont be afraid. I held his arm all weekend. It actually made me feel kind of fancy Haha like something out of an old movie.

More motivation just to stay at the hotel while we have time together =) but I am sure he will want out after being locked up there for eight weeks, can't blame him. Just dont want him to get in trouble after how hard he has worked.

During PIR weekend, they must stay within 50 miles of the base. They will have a curfew and have to return to the base in the evening, be sure he is there 30 minutes early so he can cross the base easily.
They are not allowed to drive a car or drink alcoholic beverages that weekend.

oh make sure they are there on time!!! They will lose liberty the next day for their WHOLE division if they are late!!! but they wont be able to tell you. My husbands division had someone late they lost liberty but they got it back bc all the guys didnt freak out on him. they just let it slide the kid already felt really bad. so they earned theirs back but it doesnt always happen.
