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."

CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors and their families!! Safe travels to all to an awesome PIR!!
Remember, PIR is just the beginning of the Navy journey. Keep plugged into Navy for Moms where there are groups for A school, C school, ratings (jobs), bases, ships, states, regional, twins and multiples, and the Christian Chat that I am a part of!
Also, the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command page on Facebook puts up photos from each PIR. If you see your Sailor in a pic or more, you can download it to your own computer by either clicking on the picture, going down to Options and downloading it OR right click, "Save Picture As" to a file on your computer~~

Greetings!
"Lift up your eyes on high,
and see Who has created these things,
Who brings out their host by number;
He calls them all by name, by the greatness
of His might and the strength of His power;
not one is missing."

You are correct. I was told 006 was last night. We are looking forward to our call and will post the minute we get it. Excited for everyone else to their calls too!

Ok, so it seems that no one went through BattleStations on Monday night, so thinking that 901/005/006 may have gone through last night. Calls can start in a little over 3 hrs! Please post when you get the call, and post your division. Ask if all passed in the division!
Good Morning!

New Tip:
Adjacent to the NEX, there is a warm indoor area you can wait in where the Taco Bell, Subway, etc is. This is the Ricky Haven area~~ Better than shivering outside!!

Lala,
