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."

I got a call from my boyfriend today! Unexpected, but more than welcome!
sol, my SR has been in for about 3 weeks now and when I talked to him on the phone today he said he probably wouldn't be able to call again until after battle stations, which should be in around 5 weeks from now. From what I've seen most people get a call the Thursday before PIR week, but some don't get the "I'm a sailor" call at all. Have you tried talking to anyone else with the same PIR?

On Thursday before PIR, there is a Meet and Greet that Sarge puts on at the Sundance Saloon. If you plan to attend, Please RSVP to Sarge. We are making name badges so if you don't RSVP and you show up, we won't have a badge for you. Please include the names of those you are bringing as well so we can make badges for them as well.
Also, there will be a raffle where NAVY cups, shirts and other items will be given away with the main prize being 25% of the raffle money. 50% will be donated to Sarge for future meet and greets and 25% will be donated to Calls for Recruits. Also, there is a discussion group above for those who want to donate State Baskets to the silent auction.
Sarge puts his own money into these weekly meet and greets and to ensure future mom's being able to have this same awesome opportunity, please donate a State basket or participate in the raffle. Every dollar counts!
