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."

Mama Bear - welcome and good luck with your trip to PIR. Is your group having a Meet & Greet? Hopefully, most of the groups are no longer using the Ramada. It was so dark, hard to read name tags unless you went right up to someone. It also smells like mildewy. In August we briefly met at the Ramada only because it was already planned and then a bunch of us met over at Anastasia's. They were so much nicer to us, good food and light enough to see and talk to people. They also had information about the area on print outs they gave to us.
