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."

I printed out 10 parking passes!! Just never know! I tried to call to confirm my Hotel and car, no one answers... go figure!! I don't care, have parking passes and will sleep outside the gate if need be! LOL This girl better get through that PFT Friday... from thinking back on what she said on the phone, her Shin Splints happened before Sunday, the 13th, so hopefully that is enough time for her to heal enough to get through it!!! If not, I will be selling Parking Passes on Ebay!! JUST KIDDING!!!!!

Just a quick post. My internet at home is on the blink, drove 45 to Borders to sign on and catch up. Left my charger home. Yikes. Anyway. Can't wait to see all in GL. The final countdown is on. We have awesome young men/ladies soon to be sailors in the US Navy. I am proud of each and everyone of them. They are all my SR's. Moms over and over again I keep saying thanks for your awesome support I couldn't of made it through without all your support and kind words. Here is to you N4M. THANKS - YOU ARE AWESOME.

I also wake up very early on a daily basis (4 AM), so I am used to the early mornings. Not so for the rest of my family.

I am pamom, and I plan on being in line for PIR early (I was thinking 6, but maybe I need to adjust that now). My family thinks I am ridiculous!

Well I'll be up. I get up at 4:00am every morning to be at work by 5:00am. I doubt if I will be sleeping at all that night anyway! Printed my parking pass a minute ago. Well actually I printed 5 of them.. ( just in case lol) Any one else at The Navy Lodge?

Ladies, Cathi, 9/17 group creator, has posted some pictures of 9/17 PIR in the discussion section part of the 9/17 page. Maybe some of your 900 division recruits are in there? Also, read her PIR experience, also in the discussion group section. You will notice that they drove there and arrived at 5:50 a.m, and still had 12 cars in front of them waiting to get in. So arrive EARLY! I don't believe they let cars in before 6:30? Not positive on that. I will message Cathi and ask her.

The early bird catches the worm. Have been up since long before the crack of dawn. Computer says 1000, time to print the passes!! Everyone have a great day. Am planning on getting my hair done, nails done, and go look for a new outfit. Found one on ebay but haven't heard back about the questions I asked about it. The price was good including shipping. A Navy Blue print that I can wear a blazer over. I prefer dresses past my ankles and this one fit the bill. Be back later.
