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."

Hi guys - I love reading everyone's comments, but would love to have the Brother/Sister Division members together. We know that our sons/daughters/husbands/wives/girl-boyfriends are all going through training together and helping each other out. So...hi...! :)

Ladies, please stay on the main PIR page here in addition to this discussion. We N4Moms veterans try and check the discussions periodically, but don't have time to be on here everyday. But we do check the main PIR pages each day so will be offering info there and answering questions! We are on 6-8 PIR groups at once so just don't have the time to get on all of the discussions daily in each group.

We are also coming up on Thursday. We have a 4-5 hour drive plus they are an hour behind our time so that helps until we head back of course.

OK I will ask the hotel for directions when I get there....Cant wait to see everyone.....

We were planning on going to the one at Flanagan's, only because it is right down the street from where we were staying. I'm not sure which one is best to go to.

That is the one that we are thinking of going to also. We are staying at Homewood Suites in Lincolnshire and I think that is the closest one to that location.

The MeetandGreet with the most info will be Sarge's MeetandGreet. He is very connected to the Navy families there and the sailors at A School there (through his transportation service). He has a transportation service there that the A School sailors use as do the families for PIR. Everything is very close around the GL area. He is retired military-- in the area for over 30 years, so he is a wealth of info and help with transportation too!

Received letter today and Nathan said that this week they will be doing the gas chamber which he said he is not looking forward to of course. And he also said that it was 13 days until Battle stations which I am not sure when that was because he didn't date the letter.
