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."

Oh how awesome! Have you booked anything yet for PIR?

I can't read, I am 152 :-)  still PIR 4/29.  I haven't booked, hoping to find out if she is grad and go first, I may have to do before I know though.

 

Just got my first letter from her today, 8 pages, it was mailed last Friday, so it takes a while to get mail.

Yeah I got my first letter yesterday, 6 pages long. Took her several days to write it. She said there are many people not making it so far in her division.

 

"I've seen grown men cry" was probably the most telling part of the whole letter.

Hi! My son is in this division. We bought our tickets weeks ago when the form letter arrived. We couldn't afford the non-refundable so we are taking our chances.

Yes, it makes it difficult to get a cheap flight.  I actually bought trip insurance for 16 dollars which would give me my money back if my son doesn't graduate on the 29th.  He assures me that he is.

Doesn't it depend on where they are going?  Let's hope for an extra day. :)

Mine is grad and go as well. Stinks :(

If they're staying in GL then they aren't a grad and go. But I believe everyone else flies out early Saturday morning...I know my boyfriend flies out at 2 a.m.
