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."

Sadly, no. An order from the A School Command. But not sure why or who is affected. The desires of the Navy! I even emailed someone who works at A School, but never heard back.

The Navy Lodge is an excellent choice! We just want to warn those with GL A School sailors about the possibility of their sailors not being able to visit there. Not sure it happens every time and with every one, but it definitely has happened in the past, a lady posted on the PIR 12/12/2014 group that it happened to them!

Diannep: I think we're going to try to stay at the Navy Lodge as well!

Squints; It's hard. Still waiting on my first call. The not knowing is the worst. Just wondering how he is.

Yes, Kathryn. If in Div 917, that will be in the next PIR group, probably the first one in March. But like the others said, stay here until you receive the form letter. There is no group started quite yet for the next PIR date, but ellen will be starting it soon. Once you get your form letter and it is confirmed, it is an easy switch to the other group!

Squints,
Thank you so much for your service while in the Marines!!
-

Kathryn,
Just hang on here and learn while waiting for your Form letter as Squints suggested. Easy enough to switch groups later~~

Good Day!
"For I am the Lord, Your God, who takes
hold of your right hand and says to you.
Do not fear; I will help you."

Squints- Yeah they are supposed to fill out a form for us and mail it home. We take the form and some other documents to a military base and have the ID made. I just don't know when the form will arrive. All the not knowing makes me antsy. Ha.
