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."

Leese/K's mom....Oh man!!!! Did you fly or drive to Chicago? What's her rate? Where are you guys from? We are from North Carolina so I was praying for No snow when we went to Chicago.
-

Wow Lucky, My Daughter PIR was the day after Chicago's first Snow storm and it snowed the whole weekend while we were there it would have been great to have her stay with us for the weekend. Maybe they put in for a leave instead of liberty.
I know my Daughters Division was putting in for it but it was to late for the request to go through.

Leese/K Mom my Sailor PIR'd on Dec 16th. We had know idea that she was going to be able to stay with us at the hotel. I was told it doesn't happen like that often. And yes her A school is in GL. I think it was a Division decision because everybody didn't get to stay with there parents.

Clamom: When did your SA PIR?...My SA PIR'ed in Jan and she is in A school in GL and she was not allowed to overnight with us.
she was able to leave the base at 6am and had to be back to her ship by 10pm
Ship09: CLAMOM is right send alot of up beat letters keep letting her know how proud you are of her and she can do it ect she will sooo need to hear that with in the next 2 to 3 weeks because now is the time she is second guessing her decision to join. I wrote her everyday while she was in RTC.
and around week 5 I sent her small bottles of shampoo conditioner Body wash lotion just made sure the bottles were small not trial size but small.
also you may want to send a large yellow office envelope for her to send some of her letters back home, they only have a small drawer to keep it all in.
