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."

I missed a phone call this a.m. from my SR and was so upset, but got his message and heard his voice! The blessings are that 1. He just needed information like yours did 2. He wasn't injured or sick or anything 3. Now I have a voice message that I can play over and over! Lol! Then, he called back!!!! I got to actually talk to him for a very brief moment, but let him know that I love him. Sweet.
Congrats on your Petty Officer!!! That's awesome!
See ya soon! Only 44 days!

Just starting to get this information out - We will be scheduling a meet and greet on Thursday October 6th for all the familes of the PIR group for 10/7. Keep an eye out for the event invite. I'm just waiting to get a little more information on a couple of things before I schedule it for sure and send invites, but wanted to let everyone know about it early. It will be a great way for us to meet each other. Hope to see everyone there!
