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."

Good morning all. My goodness, I can't stop getting teary. I've watched the video of the PIR today and got quite a few good views of my Shelbi. 13 days Yahoo! They all looked so good but she's still my little girl!
Thanks again Jen for helping me to get on the right site.
I'm so excited for 11-15-13 now.
Hope we all get calls this weekend! Gotta go get my basket for Sarge's Meet and Greet put together today.
Bravo Zulu 901!!!

I saw Shelbi, Court, Joey and Cassie. Which drums was Nicholas on? Tyler was the taller of the cymbals on the drum line (not the band). Anyone else we can specifically watch for? Jadeace, next time around watching, I'll look for the Georgia flag. We are so fortunate to have our kids in a special performing group that we can "see" them. Thank you for volunteering!!!

One of the moms on the FB group for our PIR is making name tags with ship and division. We're staying at the Ramada too. We're driving in from FL. Our plan is to drive for about 12 hours on Wed. stay overnight somewhere, then come in on Thur. (about a 6 hour drive).

I'm hoping yes, but thinking no. Their division is due for BS soon, so probably not gonna get a call until after passing. (keeping fingers crossed and burning blue light and blue candle, it can't hurt.)

Courtney mentioned in her last letter that she didn't think they would get to call until after BS.

My SR was the 4th from the start (she carries GA flag). We got a clip of her doing her flags job. lol
