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."

I've been trying to find last weeks PIR on the video tab above or on the Navy Facebook page and am having trouble finding it. Can someone tell me more specifically how to find it? My husband can't come to the PIR and I would like to show him how to find the video after 6/4 is posted so he can watch it.

Navyfinance- My husband watches Man vs. Food also. He says there is Als #1 Italian Beef in Chicago. He says it very messy sandwiches.
I can hardly wait to see my daughter!!!

Mackenzie's Mom- awesome! i put the address for Gino's East in my GPS! I think the other restaurant featured on Man vs. Food is Lucky's Sandwich Company. The sandwiches sound amazing but are probably about 2,000 calories each..... I know my fiance really wants to go there though, maybe we can split one. Oh, and I am a stalker on this site too... but everyone has such great ideas & I love hearing how your recruits are doing. I cant believe I am leaving in just a little over 2 days. SO excited!

Sobe, You changed your picture too ... I'm assuming the pic is you and your son. I'm trying to keep these pics in my head to make it a little easier to find you all. If you're going to the meet-n-greet, I still want to try and find you at the graduation.
A friend of mine whose daughter enlisted last July has been filling my head with things to know about the graduation. She told me when we're filling into the hall (whatever it is ... actually looks like a giant tin shed) and depending on what time we arrive, we could be sitting there for a good 2 hours before it starts. I am definately planning to arrive as early as possible ... I want a good seat. But while I'm just hanging around waiting for it to start, I will definately be looking for all of you. Now I'm sure there's going to be a ton of people but I'm still going to give it my all.
I will be a stalker in the stands ... lol.
jgoody and redwheat ... I agree with you ... I also keep signing in just to see what's going on. Yeah, we'll soon be known as "6/4 Stalkers" ... lol
Susan M.... my son also paid for his package of pictures. My son told me he got the largest one and it came with a yearbook.
