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."

Diannep ... so if we don't receive a phone call today then we should just get on the plane tomorrow? This is so stressful and confusing - I am trying to get everything done at work, run errands to get ready make sure everything is done and in place for my dogs at home.... OMG

can't wait for you guys to get your calls. Can I ask one more favor? Please pray that the rain will stop in AR and TN!!! We've had tornado sirens going off most of last night and this morning. We're leaving in another hour to drive to STL, over night, then to graduation. Praying there's a house left when we get back Monday!

MomS: Also, if they get a "do over," they will pass. So don't worry. Plan on going to PIR regardless!

MomS: If anyone didn't pass last night in BattleStations, they could POSSIBLY go through again tonight since there is a BattleStations tonight for the next PIR group (after sleeping today...a former Navy person told me that)...highly unusual for a PIR group to start theirs on Wed, but it has happened before. In that case, the SR would be a sailor tomorrow.
However, if they don't put that SR through until tomorrow (Thurs) night, then that SR would be a sailor on Friday morning, but in the balcony after having been up all night, too tired to march.

Michelle: Piks are only sent home if your SR paid for them and had them mailed home. Otherwise, you will receive them after PIR.
