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."

Glad you had a great time at PIR. My son is on his way back to Pensacola as he was home for the weekend. He will now have a car which will be good. It was great to have him home this weekend.

Recently returned from PIR (07/01/2011) and son is in Pensacola now. Wow - what a weekend!
My son was 25 and had to do
67 push ups in 2 minutes
67 sit ups in 2 minutes
1-1/2 mile run in 11 minutes
No problem.
We're planning a get together in Tampa Bay Area - come visit us there if you're interested in joining us.
Welcome Wendy! PIR is great. You'll be very pleased.

Lizzy- I asked my son about the time but he could not remember. I think he wanted to just get it out of his mind. Not sure on the points thing for the rest. I know they have to do so many in a certain amount of time.
