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."

We are moms/wives/girlfriends from the next PIR on 4/13. If anybody has pictures that show the chorus, band, drill team, etc...anybody from the performing division, please, please share. We are living vicariously through you for one more week. Just tell us where you have posted the pictures so we can scan them for a glimpse of our SR/SAILOR. Last week, I actually got to see my SR's BC glasses and his white cap. LOL

There's a link to my pictures.
If anyone posted pictures on FB, but don't necessarily want to add a bunch of people, if you open the album, and scroll to the very very bottom of the page, FB gives you a link so you can share just that one album with people who aren't on your friends list.
Oh also, I have a bunch of videos that I'll upload to a special youtube account sometime this week.

Your pictures are so good! The zoom on my camera isn't that great so I couldn't get many good close ones. I'm so happy you did!
I received a letter from my son today who will PIR 4/20 and he performed int eh Honor Guard on 4/6. He stated that he was in a you tube vidoe but I can not find it. Apparently it is not something that RTC posts so I am guessing it had to be someone at PIR. If you can help me lovate this video I would be very greatful. Not sure how my SR knew he would be on you tube.
