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."

Rec'd another letter from our SR yesterday. We observe a remarkable change in his handwriting, his focus, his goals, his plans, his thinking....this is good! Hope he calls today or tomorrow and cannot wait to see them 10/17. Only 27 days to go!

I am hoping for the long letter he said he would write this week, sounds like it might be a while before we get another phone call, unless they earn them as a reward. No news is good news, hang in there, only 3.5 weeks until PIR!

I just got our letter, and it isn't any longer than the others, but he said that things are coming together, IT isn't happening as much as it was, they are getting to know each other, and that all they do is work out and study, it is boring yet fun ;)

19 days! Who else is excited! I can't wait to see my SR.
I know there are tons of pages and links, but can someone tell me if we get the weekend with our sailors or just the liberty day, of PIR? He is going to Florida for A school soon after PIR.
Any advice helps!

So excited! From what I understand you definitely get Friday, and then your SR could fly out either Sat or Sun from either airport. They will know when the time gets closer. You can hang out with them at the airport too while they wait for their flight. Hope that helps!
