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."

Just click CHAT on the above menu bar. Once you connect to CHAT, you stay "connect" until you "disconnect" (find the green or red button either on the lower right of the main screen or on the chat screen). Being connected will slow down your browsing on the site. It's simple to connect and disconnect. I flip in and out of CHAT consistently but I remember to disconnect each time and remember to to disconnect when you leave the site too.

ArtBarbie - Did you join Boot Camp Moms group? There you will find other groups for your PIR date and for your SR's specific division. It's a great place for information and sharing while your SR is in BC.
