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."

J'sMom: If your son's division is one of the higher numbered divisions, it is very possible that his division/brother division will go Wed/Thurs before PIR. They start with the lowest numbered first.

BattleStations for this group should start on Thurs, Jun 30th. They don't do them Fri and Sat nights, but can resume on Sun-Wed nights. Be sure to go to the BattleStations discussion above, then click on the link to get more info. I'm ready to start the schedule whenever you all hear dates from your SRs!
Captains Cup for this group should be on Sat, Jul 2nd. A fun competitive day for all of the divisions in PIR 7/8.

Rackie--I hope things get straightened out soon, but thank God you do have an opportunity to make a little more right now to get you by.
I love and hate Wednesdays. It is our letter day, but my hubby makes it home about 2 hours before I do and always calls and gloats because he gets to read our SRs letters first! Not fair!

Z'sSweetie: You may want to start a discussion above for Div 934. Then others can join and you all can get to know one another. Be sure to stay on this board too though...we veterans answer questions on this main board, but don't usually have time to check the discussions. We are all on about 6-7 PIR groups at once so it can get time consuming! But we love helping you all with anything that we can!

With me, I still don't have access in Joel's account in NFCU. He forgot to put me in that account. I tried to send him a form from NFCU that would add me as co-owner. Still haven't received it back. With the POA, I couldn't get one here since its his signature that is needed to be notarized not mine. With all of this happening, I was really stressed! God reminds me that I should have faith and trust Him to make things possible! My co-worker/best friend is on vacation and as a result I'm able to work her shifts at the local emergency department where we work. I take this as His blessings.
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Phil.4:9
God bless everyone!!
