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."

Whats your name? (First only) Cheryl
Where are you from? Gainesville, Georgia
Are you excited for PIR? Hell Yeah! I can't wait!!! I'm counting down the days!! (soo snagging this answer!!)
Do you have other children? If so how many? I have a grown daughter who is a momma to her own two little ones, and an eight year old son. I'm also a step-momma to a 15-year old daughter.
Who are you bringing to the meet and greet and PIR? My husband, my baby son, and 15-year old step-daughter. My parents will also be attending PIR (not sure if they're interested in the meet and greet) but they will be traveling separately.
What is the one thing you miss most about your SR? EVERYTHING!! I miss his smile, his laughter, hearing about his day, crabbing about how fickle girls are, complaining that his little brother didn't turn off the playstation, the rumble of his truck traveling down the road, waiting up at night when he's gone out just to make sure he makes it home safely, his early morning thumping as he bangs into the wall to get to the bathroom so that he could get ready for work, going into his room and rolling my eyes because I've finally found all the plates, cups, and silverware that's missing from the kitchen, his *isn't there anything to eat around here* complaints. I miss it all!!
Besides seeing and being with your SR, what are you looking forward to most about PIR? I'm still stuck in the box here because my main goal is to see my son. I haven't even thought about anything else except the meet and greet. I would rather spend a quiet afternoon with my son instead of trying to go sight seeing with him and not having any quality time with him.
Name two things you consider yourself good at: photography, cooking--I'm always honing my culinary skills
What do you do in your spare time? Okay, I admit it, I'm a Farmville addict!! Other than that, love photography, cooking, cross-stitching, reading. Love to spend my weekends doing something with my family, usually going into the North Georgia mountians for some sight seeing or hiking.
