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."

Let's help those who are coming to PIR by themselves find each other so that no one is traveling alone from the airport to Great Lakes.
PIR, Liberty, Parking, etc..

I am really missing E tonight. I just wished he would walk in and give me one of his big hugs! I got a letter today and he is sounding so good. he did say that he has shin splint and that it hurts really bad when he is marching in boots. He said that they go to the gas chamber next week and that it is going to be awesome. Weird Kid I know!!!! I am so proud of that kid weird or not. Pray they are all doing good on everything they have to do this week.

Clandy26 - I dropped Jamie a letter today (only the third one this week) and I told him to tell your husband that you miss him and your thinking about him ;) We're almost there, just a little while longer. It seems that we've all reached this slump and are ready for it to be over. I sent Jamie a calendar of May and June and highlighted in yellow with red outline June 4 and wrote PIR. I also put the days when we are going to be traveling and where we are going to be. I even marked Memorial Day since I don't know if they even realize that holiday is coming up. My husband said they shouldn't be doing much on that day since it's a big military holiday.

Smoothie, usually those that are grad n go but still have liberty have their A school in Great lakes. It seems funny but since they are "going" to their A school right across the street they are still considered grad n go but they usually get liberty because they don't have to fly anywhere. My fiance and I are planning to marry in between his A and C school and then I will move in with him.
