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..

No calls yet but it would make my day if I got it before I got on my plane :) Last night was soo vvery exhausting.Seems like the wives had a hard time sleeping. Unfortunately my baby girl is sick too so I've been trying to check up on her too. Wouldn't you know it, right before I leave one of them would get sick. :( I think she's feeling a lil better and I trust my mom will take good care of her. oh dear I have an hr to get everything ready and my ride will be here. Best of luck to everyone on there travels today! I can't wait for tomorrow.

Jess - the sailor calls won't come for awhile. I got mine at 12 noon (PST) and those who got calls this week were a little bit later.
I am not done packing yet and I leave for the airport in less than 4 hrs! I have all my son's stuff, all the paperwork & boarding passes, but I haven't gotten my own things ready! I'm so organized most of the time, but not today for some reason.
Don't forget your camera and all the chargers for all your gadgets! I had to download a ton of pictures so my camera would have room for more.
