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."

My son has already graduated but wanted to suggest you join group called PIR Reference Information. Was HUGE help as we planned our trip to graduation. Take the time to read the Discussion Forum discussions. I had a notebook full of info! Also, join the group for your son's PIR date once you know exact date. You will "hear" so much going on that even the sailor won't know or be able to tell you! The sudden void of communication with our son was tough.

Hi Syndi, My son is stationed on the Boxer in San Diego. He has only been in San Diego since July but he is really enjoying his time there!

Just made it through Thanksgiving and now I can concentrate on packing for PIR next weekend! Ruth and Donna, you are right; these last weeks have flown by and I can't believe the end of BC is near. Our SR stays in GL for A school. The forecast says a Nor'Easter is headed up the coast this week so I am praying our flights are not affected!

Hi RuthY. My son is in an 800 Div as well. PIR 11/30. Just learning my way around. You must have just returned from your son's PIR? Would love to hear how it was. We could message each other? Doesn't look like many other members on here recently....Getting good info on 2 other groups.
