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."

Yeah Incognito's Sailor and my Sailor had PIR together and there were 13 DIV's graduating :-) And Terry I did the same thing, no make-up at all. I didn't see the pint, knew I would cry and I also didn't want to risk getting it on my sailors dress white uniform. Someone else hugged her and she still ended up with make-up on her. Be sure and pick up Shout wipes, they work great.

I got myself at the gate 30 minutes before the earliest time they said theyd start allowing access to the base. So I think it was like 6am- 630 am for me. I got there early enough to have the pick of any seat I wanted. But I felt the need to leave that early because our PIR had over 10 divs graduating so I knew the place would pack to the rafters.

Yes I heard the "heat index" is expected to be 104 - 113. We'll be glad for the cool ceremonial hall.

i agree Terry, and if is as hot as the weatherman says it going to be, makeup will just "melt" off anyway!

ALWAYS "INCOGNITO".... I just went back and saw it....way to go....the water works started again...happy tears; my husband just called me "big baby". reconsidering mascara after last video....now after this one i'm reconsidering all make-up. Why bother by the time I see my Sailor it will all be wiped off anyway.

Terry, I know there was no liberty call at the end of the first vid I posted the link to and I realized that after I posted it so I posted another that DOES have Liberty call at the end. Did you get to see that one?
