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."

Meet and Greet
Who's all going to the Meet and Greet at Sarge's?? Is this place near the base? Is it a bar/restaurant? What time do people go?? We're debating coming up for it and not sure how we want to schedule the weekend.

Posting this in several spots today...
We have been hard at work arranging some wonderful things for Graduation weekend! Please go to the Navy 4 Mom's site (PIR 09/14/2012 group) and look in the discussion areas for the discussion "Mom's T-shirts for our PIR". Here you will find the awesome t-shirt that a couple of our wonderful mom's designed, just for us! You will need to respond to that discussion with your order and sizes if you would like to receive one! They will be delivered at the Meet and Greet at Sarge's on Thursday night Sept 13.
If you haven't RSVP'd to Sarge's Meet and Greet, please consider joining us there! We'll have lots of fun things and Sarge has a lot of information about the graduation weekend that you won't want to miss!
If you are already planning on attending, Please bring a picture of your family that includes your sailor to hang on our "Wall of Fame". Also, Sarge does these meet and greets every weekend out of his own pocket, so I would like to encourage you to bring a "thank you" card for Sarge! We will have a basket where you can place them and if you'd like to include a donation in your card, I know Sarge would be appreciative!
Hope to see you all there!! This is a family friendly event!
