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."

Lynne- He left 11/8 and he is 1/14 for PIR. Thanks for the questionnaires above.. I will definitely use those I want to learn as much as I possibly can about what he is going through.
Ash- CONGRATS!!! =] Can't believe they are in the same division.. we will definitely have to meet up the night before. I'm staying at the Ramada it was the one in the brochure that was sent with the form letter. Keep me posted on your plans for the trip!

Wow NS...great job on starting this group...congrats on getting your form letters...it looks like if your recruit went in the 8th they are 1/7 and anything later than that they are in this group...however...I could be wrong...I am a lot...lol!!
You all are in for a great journey. Your recruits are trying to adjust to their new VERY REGIMENTED life. They are tired and maybe even a little overwhelmed. I am going to put some questionaires up in the discussion forum you can send them. They are just plain fun. they will give you some information quickly and will so take less than five minutes for your recruit to fill out which means they can sleep longer...lol...and heaven knows they will be all about that.
Welcome to your PIR group and if you ahve any questions just yell!!

No letter yesterday. Maybe today. Time has never moved so slowly. But I'm sure he's doing well. I think we did everything possible to be prepared for this time. It's in God's hands now.
