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."

I totally agree with Kathy. We have all been going through this entire process together. As far as I'm concerned, we are still all in it together. I want to keep in touch with each any one you. I'm not going anywhere. My son is in a different ship that all of you, but I don't feel apart from all of you at all. ((hugs))

Sara, we are going to have two very close PIR groups. As far as I am concerned all of our recruits are there together just as we are and that is what counts. I will just be checking out each PIR every day just like I did our discussion group. Also groups don't have the replies like the discussions do. I am thinking of all of us today with great fondness. Love you guys. K

Kathy - Oh Dear is right! Wow, I'm glad D didn't say that to me or I would have started crying. When I asked him if everything is OK, he "yes, but I really have to go to the bathroom." LOL Poor guy. He said they are sleeping from 8pm to 6am. Then he said it wasn't a personal call. Darn, I could have asked questions for hours.
NDG - Kathy is right, we are a family and we will all keep chatting. Susan

Susan, I am so glad you got that call. It was the same kind I got. I could tell there were ears listening by his tone of voice. It is still so nice to hear their voice. Have you got your form letter. Well, I hope your son sounded more positive than mind did. He said to pray harder than I ever have. Oh, dear. Bless our children. Hugs. K

NDG, you are still part of our family and we will still go through this together. My heart is breaking too. I will be in your group as much as here. We can even chat each place. Hugs. K
