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."

jma: I so agree on the sanitation fee! No price is too much to have our "furries" around!
Welcome proudmama!
You all remember that there is no change fee with Southwest Airlines, which flies into Midway (Chicago) and Milwaukee. Milwaukee is a bit closer to GL,but neither or too bad. Also, first 2 checked bags have no charge.
welcome back, fireteamleaders wife! Missed you on here!

navysgravymom...I loved your hubby on the RTC fb trivia today. Good job putting him to work. Maybe next time he will win and get our SR's picture! :)
jma1216...saw that you are at the Residence Inn. So are we. We'll be travelling with our 16yr old son and my SR's gf. We needed 2 rooms and RI was definately the best deal! We won't be travelling with the doggies...I can only imagine the beagle snorting and sniffing herself to death. And the other one would pee on everyone and everything! LOL! I'll just have to bring a pic for my SR!
I'm glad our PIR finally has a page to call home. I've made some good connections on the June BC caledar page but you guys will actually be at PIR and alot of us have SR's in the same Div...we are like family! LOL!

@ duh- what Div is your daughter in? Not sure if my son's Div is coed. Genus 10/266.
Even though time seems to be moving slowly it feels good to see the next PIR date is up and running 8/26 so we are moving right along. I look forward to keeping in touch and meeting you all. Who is planning on attending the Meet and Greet?
