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."

Good morning everyone! My son mentioned he has met a buddy in his DIV from the area up there. He suggested we all have a meal together after PIR. Are their any SR families on here from IL area in 916?

We will attend Sarge's Meet and Greet. We have book a family suite at the Navy Lodge. I have heard it is older but it has plenty of room for us and was a lot cheaper than the chain hotels. :) Excited to meet everyone!

We are staying at the Ramada. It has its own meet and greet so I don't know if I will make it to Sarge's. I am not renting a car, so I have to rely on shuttles and/or cabs. I am not worried though, I am going to see my son and all the other stuff with fall into place.

My daughter is also 917. time really doesn't fly. I've received two letters from her and two phone calls, one last saturday (1 hr) and the other, which I really didn't expect, yesterday at about 6 o'clock for 15 mts. Great, i feel so happy, her voice sounded so well. I feel much relaxed now.
