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."

Just found the group
I have a SR in Ship 04 Div 019. I have just found this group within the site. I have already enjoyed reading all the posts and have learned more just from those readings. I am in Texas and estatic about PIR on 12/16/2011. I have all my paperwork in order, plane tickets purchased, luggage packed. However I am not sure that I will have packed sufficiently for Chicago weather being from Texas my whole life. I was also lucky enough to be able to order my shirt with his flag printed on it to wear at PIR. It should be in the mail by today or tomorrow. If there is anything else that I might be missing I would love to know about it or just meet anyone would also be great.

I reside in the DFW area. I have my long johns packed also. The excitement for me just continues to grow and I have loved this site in the short time that I have been here. I have gotten so much information and not so worried about PIR and doing something that will get my SR jeapordized. I do plan to hold on to his "left" arm for as long as he will let me.
Does this mean that you have already gone through PIR with your oldest?
