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."

CatMom509-I checked the Christian Chat page but it said you have to be an alumni of PIR from 2011. Is that the page you mentioned earlier?

Eight weeks ago we kissed goodbye
And sent you on your way
Now the day has come we’ve waited for
It’s Graduation Day!
No more sitting, staring at the phone,
Just praying it would ring.
No more waiting on the mailman
And the letters he would bring.
Your days of standing watch have passed,
And thoughts of missing home.
You have grown to take your place at last
And stand up on your own.
You wondered if you’d make it through
To stand here on this day
For all the things you’ve learned to do
With pride you now can say…
“A Navy Sailor stands before you,
Here on graduation Day!
I have done what I se out to do,
In every single way.”

Bluera12 You should be behind us. Just some snow squalls through the PA mountains on I-80. We are just outside of Toledo now. Calling for snow. Nothing on roads, maybe 1-2 inches on the grass.

Safe travels to all of you, and a happy PIR to you.
If you are driving to PIR, please be sure to pack in your car a gallon of water, graham crackers (or some other non-perishable item), and a couple of tea light candles. Can't be too prepared for the ice, snow and cold. I am from Colorado and you can never be too prepared. :)
