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."

1Thanks everybody. Ok dress whites. better get the tide pen. printing out what to bring. hey i wonder if I can use SR's Navy bag he got in DEP?
Got letter from SR, BS 9/28, finish 9/29 his birthday! he said he'd call three numbers, which ever one I answer . He doesn't want to miss me either! what a guy! I taught him all i know. The Navy taught him all he needs to know. Maybe he can help me! Role reversal!
CD playlist ready to copy. did one this morning and my ride to and from work went like a charm. I was in heaven! Now I don't have to listen to my head, just the radio in the car, with the volume up.

I am hearing that there is some construction in and around GL and Chicago areas that are giving the GPS's a run for their money.

Sailors will be in Whites. Look above for what to bring. Will be sitting a long time, may want to bring a towel or stadium seat. I am going to check with RTC facebook page about that. I will be carrying a canvas boat bag with my "stuff" in it.

Finally got home from work. took alittle while to catch up from your posts.
Didn't we have a site of what to bring to PIR. I got the "what to wear" almost down, only 5 outfits to choose from. Are the SR's in white or navy. I'm thinking of the pictures. May I should wear black and blue, cause that's how I feel; emotional at least. "Beat up to Heck" LOL.
What papers to bring, other than parking passes? I'm on the count down starting today! bringing just the mini computer; hey for me. I thought to keep in contact with everybody.

Sailorgirl-
My letter from 2 weeks ago said he was visiting the NEX yesterday the 20th but wasn't sure if he would be able to call. Last weeks letter said, I will call after BS21. So I figure that means the call opp was missed all together. *shrugs*
