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."

Hello fellow 5-25-12 PIR moms (and assorted other support people), we made it to MAY!!!! Not only is it an awesome month - since it contains my birthday, Duh! - but it also means we are seeing our loved ones in Great Lakes in just a few short weeks! I, for one, am so happy to be able to write "5" for the month and am so looking forward to seeing my son. Not to mention meeting all you lovely people at PIR. Are you ready??

I am not ready!!!   LOL.. May is also my daughter's birthday, I will send her a card to BC this week.  I'm having a rough time missing her, because I haven't gotten any mail in a couple weeks.  I did make a decision, and will be driving, it will be an adventure... Can't wait to meet you all...

Oh, sorry! Although I must say - she has a GREAT birthday month - and just think how you can celebrate with her when you see her! Yes, very ready to meet everyone. Good luck with the driving - is your middle son able to make it? Our MCAS period ends 5/22 - hope he can go too. Just checked the mail - no dice again :( At least the GF got a letter yesterday and he sounded "great" according to her. We did get his statement from the Navy Fed C.U. Guess he opened an acct LOL - Keep smiling in this rain, Ann-Marie

My daughters 20th birthday is May 20th...I wrote in her letter today 19 more days of being 19!  What a memorable birthday this will be, all the more reason for us to celebrate on 5/25!  Jenn, where are you driving from?  I am in Kansas City.

I for one, am so ready. I have been ready since the day my SR left for bootcamp. It will be the best day ever. I look forward to giving my SR the biggest hug and meeting all of you at the meet and greet. Have a blessed day. ;-)

May!!!! YES!!! 23 days, 11 hours...and counting every LONG moment!!  Its the month that would never seemed to arrive, but got here so fast!!  I'm searching for SR Murray and Cirllio, Kelsey called them out by name and would love to meet them at Sarge's.

BTW - I was told we should make a Div sign for Sarge's party...I can take the lead on that since I am driving up!!  DIV 162!!!!

I am SO beyond ready!!!! I could "ship out" at a moments notice. :)
