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."

kathy: Although they are called PIR shuttles, they are all taxi vans. That is true of most all of the hotels. So sorry that this motel was not forthcoming with you....stinks. We stayed at Residence and had a very pleasant experience there. So sad to see others who had struggles just getting to PIR. But hope the awesomeness of PIR overshadowed it!

WOW, WOW, WOW. By now you can tell this morning I sat in awe. The ceremony was beautiful, the anticipation was more than I could stand. I cry with the music (I always have) but when 075 came through the door I really cried. As 078 came by I found my son. Tears of joy. They all have a right to be proud. My son looks wonderful and we are thrilled to be near him. We are waiting for him to move to A school and get his orders. We are hoping for an over night but still anything will thrill us. Husband and I came back to hotel. I was exhausted and needed a nap!
It was an honor to meet Sherri, Wendee, Cinda and Tasha last night. I know our men are going different directions but I will always remember your friendship and bond from N4M. Love you all.

We're here, but without my overcoat! It got left in the overhead compartment and forgotten in the rush when the first plane was late and we literally had to run to our next gate. Geez! I guess my excitement to see the Bobster will keep me warm :-)

Made it...so sorry did not get to the meet and greet. Wish everyone safe travels throughout this weekend. Can't wait to see my son and all the other Sailors! We all have made it thru this journey only to begin the next chapter. WAY TO GO!!
Got a little sleep, but I am just too excited!
