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."

Ladies: Picture info. If you want your recruit to order Pkg A, it will include The Keel (yearbook) in addition to the pictures. Price is $140. You will need to ask your recruit to order the PIR DVD separately (that is $29). That is what I would suggest to all of you. My son ordered Pkg B which didn't have The Keel. It is a "freebie" for your recruit, but will not be included in Pkg A if you order that post-PIR. So for $169, you can have everything. Worth it! Check in the NEX after PIR to order any extras. The Keel and PIR DVD have to be ordered by PIR day. Pictures can be reordered up to a year, I believe.

Yes thats what my husband said. He said why are you saying first names I really dont know first names we know last. I said I can't use last names on this website he said OOO so we had to describe people. He was excited if he does get that ceremonial guard. He said it would be worth it. Well, if they do make it in together that would be good because i would already know someone thats there.;o) If my husband doesn't make it I still know wonderful people that I know along this Journey that was set for us.

Does anyone know how many phones they have available for calls? Surely not all 85 SR's can call at once?

Great news everyone! Thanks so much for sharing! Still waiting.

I got a quick call today, (long one was Friday), she needed her transcripts refaxed, her Recruiter didnt send all the info (shockihg, I know!), so now once they recieve the complete transcripts, she will be an E-3! She said Re-classification is tomorrow, she's staying where she is, she talked to the Chief Recruiter here in Fl, he said to definitely stay in Avionics!!! I think she had a moment of self doubt! I didnt reallize how much I missed talking to her!!! :(
