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."

carol: Sailor usually goes back free on shuttle with you. Shuttles are available right after PIR by the front gate. We enjoyed the conversation we had with our driver on the way back (turned out just to be the 3 of us with him). Many enjoy driving there with no issues...others enjoy the shuttle. So just a matter of choice! navymomship's advice is right on...you have to get in line early...

I was told the gates open at 6:30 but to get there at 6 am and the right lane is for work personell so stay left as long as you can before the gate. With the gate pass you can drive all the way up. You will need to make a few copies. Make one for each time you need to get onto base. Once for grad, one for dropping off and picking up each time you need to. My husband wanted to take the shuttle but it's gonna be raining and I'm a baby.

Zacksmom: I would be surprised if they are leaving Friday. According to RTC, they don't ship sailors on PIR day anymore. Sat. or Sun is more like it which would mean you at least have PIR day with him and Sat ---even if possibly at the airport.
Safe travel for those leaving today. Get ready for a very very AWESOME experience at PIR. Don't forget the kleenex! HAPPY TEARS!
