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 attended my sailor's PIR sept 2012, I found it cheaper to fly into Milwaukee and I stayed in Wakiguan, very short distance to the base. I learned my sailor just received word he made FC2, (e-5) and leaving for Japan in May. He's been stateside since boot camp but on the east coast:-( I've been very lucky seeing him twice a year I hope they gave Skype in Japan :-) I'm so glad i attended PIR, take lots of kleenex's, it's awesome

I'm in Meridian - and my son is 47 days away from leaving for Great Lakes. He is so ready to go...it is awesome to see, but I'd be fine without his constant countdown of days...LOL

Hi April, I'm from Nampa currently in Boise. I haven't seen any action in this group. I'm in empty nesters now. Where are you and more importantly your sailor?

Are there any current Idaho folks here?
