OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Comment by diannep on July 11, 2012 at 10:48am: Julie: They should have no problem getting in. There are only 7 divisions in this PIR group...which is considered a small one. I would be surprised if they even made them wait, but even if they do, they won't wait long before coming in. Shouldn't be a problem....

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 11, 2012 at 9:48am: Good Morning ladies!

Comment by Patrat-Ship04-Div223 on July 11, 2012 at 9:39am: Paige - I Love it!!! With each letter I write my son, I give him the countdown. As a matter of fact, when I spoke with him on Saturday, I was on this site, so I gave him the countdown. He just laughed!

Comment by Paige on July 11, 2012 at 9:03am: 8 Days 23 hours 57 min 10 sec !!!!! :-)

Comment by J-RockyMtn on July 11, 2012 at 8:22am: Question regarding the people who are NOT on the list of 4 ... Their are 11 of us coming to IL. 4 of us are on the list, 3 are retired Navy and get to come in on that status ... So we have 3 grandmas and 1 aunt who are going to wait in the visitors center. Does anyone know what the odds are whether they will get to come in after all the "4" people are seated? I have read they can come in after a specific time if there is space available.

Comment by diannep on July 11, 2012 at 8:04am: A suggestion would be for you all to make name tags containing your screen name from N4Moms along with your real name. That way, people will know who you are! This is a good thing to do for the MeetandGreets also.

Good morning all.

Comment by MrsSailor-S on July 10, 2012 at 11:48pm: Thank you! That's helpful! I wish there was a way to identify everyone at the PIR. :-)

Comment by diannep on July 10, 2012 at 8:02pm: mrsSR: I left a comment on your page.

Comment by MrsSailor-S on July 10, 2012 at 7:45pm: We get in on Thursday evening at 7:20, so we won't be able to make it to the meet and greet. Have fun for us! We will be at the graduation though. :-)

If you get any updates on exact battle stations dates for 221 can you guys message me?

Comment by Patrat-Ship04-Div223 on July 10, 2012 at 7:40pm: Lala- Thanks! I rec'd the email that they shipped just after I posted :) I can't wait to get them, I'm sure that I will love them!
