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."

There is a meet and greet that Sarge hosts on the Thursday before PIR. Look on the far left section on N4M where it shows events. If you want to attend that M&G, it helps to RSVP so they know how much food to bring.

Nice to meet you Matt's Mom! My son wrote in his letter that there were 7 Nukes in his division and 2 in his brother division. Your son must be one of them!

My Girl is Ship 11 Div 268, and is also headed out to Flordia after Graduation. Since we're headed out on a holiday is there any word if we'll get to see them Monday also?

Welcome Denise! As far as leaving later because of the holiday...everything I've read has said they will all pretty much fly out on Saturday if the Sailors have A-school away from GL. Those who are staying at GL get daytime liberty all weekend including the holiday. However I did read that some will fly out possibly on Sunday. We probably won't get to find out until PIR day.
