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."

What a small world Laura...i grew up in Williston and I lived in Bozeman for three summers when I was a pre-schooler while my dad got his Masters degree...how funny is that.
I am going to post the questionaires just like Jessica asked. Just in case you aren't familiar with them they are fun letters you can send your recruit that will help you gather some infomation from them. They take about five to ten minutes each to complete. Have fun with them.

Hi All. So glad to see this group growing. Thanks to all that is offering to help us along the way. Like Nascarnov, I still have not recieved my PIR date. Hopefully I will find something out today. So I guess I will wait to here before booking anything, however I believe it will be Ramamda for me. Looking forward to meeting all of you in person (if this is actually my PIR date).

Cat, I decided to join this PIR, just like you, even though we don't have our official form letter saying when they PIR! Glad you mentioned it! When "the box" came the other day, our cats sniffed it and jumped inside. I think we ALL miss him!

Hi Lynne! I live in the bozeman area now (for 13 years) but grew up in wolf point up on the hi-line. Use to go to williston all the time to shop because it was the closest walmart at 100 miles away!

Wow I had a hard time finding this group for some reason. I have some folks I want to send on over, but I couldn't find you. My name is Lynne and I will be dropping in and out along with Jessica and Dianne to see if I can answer questions and be of some help as you go through the Navy for Moms Boot Camp. Don't laugh you will quickly find out that this process is much like boot camp for you as well as your recruit. I am looking forward to getting to know you. Have a great Thanksgiving.
Laura...where are you from in Montana. I grew up in western ND. My aunt and uncle live in Plentywood.
