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."

Hello Fellow Indiana Moms, Anyone from Indy area? My son's PIR was 11/5. He is now is Groton, Conn for sub school. anyone else? Looking forward to him being home New Year's week. By the time he arrived in Groton, Christmas week was filled up. Just glad he will be home for a week. Now hoping there will not be one of those major snow storms the east coast gets, and he will be delayed. Have a great evening...

Well didn't get to attend the Valpo dinner tonight. Hopefully will make the next one. If there is one in the Warsaw area, let me know.
Still haven't gotten the letter to know what Ship and PIR he is in. It has been 11 days. Got the kid in the box though. Contacted his recruiter because she said she would e mail me within a week to let me know his ship. Just keep your fingers crossed that his PIR is Jan 14.....
