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."

Yes, you would know if it has already happened. He has to call immediately. No choice. It is a supervised call...anything that would affect his PIR date will negate a supervised call home.
And, no, I'm going to miss you because I love to be able to help you guys through this...so all questions are welcomed!

guess who? i know i sound like a broken record, but...
diannep--if he is going to be separated or asmo'd, do they require him to call immediately? or does he get to put it off (if he is discouraged)? in other words, if that has already happened to him, we would know it? if he has been moved to RCU, would we know immediately? (aren't you gonna be glad when THIS mom has moved on?)

meryl: There are always rumors about President Obama attending some PIRs. In the 1.5 yrs I have been on here, it hasn't happened yet...not thinking your SR should worry about this...and yes, the RDCs are always the ones to get the rumors around! Motivational, you know???

Funny Story, KC'sMom: Sure am glad that we didn't see your mom on the evening news, arrested after trying to "run down" the mailperson! :-) You would have been arrested too...as an accessory to the crime! :-)

pianomom: If your son had been asmoed, you would have been called (by him).
-

...hoping they allow him to call you on Wed afternoon and don't make him wait until Thurs when he makes the "I'm a Sailor" call.....usually when it is this close to PIR, they let them call home after they pass their PFA, so that would be Wed.
-
-
pianomom: He has not be asmoed(setback), right? He is still in the division, I believe. There is no PIR on 6/24, so there will be no Thurs night (6/16) BattleStations for the next group---normally he would have had until Thurs to make his float and complete BattleStations with the next group that night.
Sooooo the last time he could call you before PIR could be on Wed, 6/15 saying he made the float and will doing BattleStations that night with the last PIR 6/17 group. I know...cutting it close. But like Lala said, no problem cancelling with the hotels or the rental car, most likely. Unless you booked through something like Expedia....I know those sites have their own rules. But if you separately booked the hotel and car, I think you are ok. Stay put for now! Don't change anything!

I've been praying every day for your SR's ladies...! What a WORK of faith we are going through.! It has been such a hard practice to keep my mind on the fact that no matter what this looks like, no matter what falls in these young men & women's pathway that they have to overcome, crawl over, and make their way through. There is a GREAT furture for them!
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.SO Lord, we give you our faith and we declare YOU have plans for our children, and there will always be hope and a future for them in you.! And we rest in our guts with peace, that no matter whether they are sailors or not, they WILL be amazing people, difference makers, and overcomers with greatness in YOU.! We thank you Lord today that you CARE about everything WE care about, and we ask you for your best for all of the SR's in Jesus Name.. amen.
Phew.... I NEEDED that too. I got a letter from my SR yesterday saying that the crazy beating of exercising started back up, and it was so tough 3 quit. He said it took everything he had to keep going, and said he never wanted to quit anything that bad in his life... but was holding on! praise God.!
Hang in there ladies..!! Miracles!!! we pray for Miracles..!!!!!
