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."

DKMom: You ordered the PIR DVD, right?

Is there anyone in 925 who might be able to get some pictures of DKMom's sailor for her and email to her? He should be easy to spot carrying the Oregon flag. :-)
The ladies on N4M are always so gracious to watch out for other N4M's sailors and take pictures (and give a hug to them!) when their families can't make it. So if anyone is in that situation besides DKMom, just post!

I was going to wear a dress but decided against it. I will get to cold. But I may change my mind at least 4 times before I leave.

@saugonda ~ where do you live? We live in the mid-cities area of DFW. We are flying out this afternoon at 4:30 from Love field and flying into Midway.
I can't wait to be in Chicago, attend the meet & greet and see my Sailor Friday morning!

Hi ladies. I'm wearing a dress to PIR too. Decided to wear my knee high boots with it instead of shoes. I figured I could get away with wearing the boots because the weather is in between. No rain for fri. though. Just checked the forecast again lol!

diannep: I just talked to the public affairs office. Thanks! It IS o.k. to leave cars parked at the base. The warning about parking in reserved spots at the Metra station is a little confusing. Public affairs told me that the reserved spots ARE for Metra customers.
