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."

Not sure but I think it depends on their rate/job...hoping to find out from my son so I'll know how much time I'll have with him that weekend.

Im pretty sure it depends on their rate/job. My husband is a grad-n-go apparently. He said he was supposed to fly out on Saturday morning so we would have the rest of PIR day to spend with him but now he is hearing that he only have 45 minutes with us and flies out the same day :( Its almost more worth it for me to meet him in Pensecola. Even though Great Lakes is only 3 hours away from me lol....hopefully he finds out soon.

I agree! It is totally worth it even if I only see him for 1 minute. My husband will be meeting his son for the first time so im definately hoping to get a little longer than 45 minutes, but if we dont I guess thats ok too :) His A-school is only 4 weeks so it wont be long til he gets home after PIR depending on whether or not there is a wait.

I sat by the phone all day waiting for a call. I did have to go to the grocery store. I think it was the fastest grocery shopping trip I have ever made. The night is not over so I'm still praying for the phone to ring. Have any of you heard how the division is doing?

I know how you feel. No phone call (yet) and I didn't even get a letter this week. I'm not sure what is up with that.

These guys must be very busy. My phone just rang and we all scrambled to answer it. I think my heart skipped a beat. It wasn't my son. I just hope I didn't sound too disappointed with the person on the other end. LOL

Haha that just happened to me too! Right now they are probably at dinner. They eat at 645am, 10am, and 7pm Great Lakes time.
