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."

Finally got the family all packed up so we can leave at 0300 tomarrow. Takes about 8.5 hrs to drive from where we are at. My SR called us this afternoon. Her school is in San Antonio and she will be flying out of O'Hare on Sat in the evening. I hope all of the families going to PIR have a safe trip! See you all on Friday!

Ours is going to Pensacola on Sunday. We are already here....it is hard to be so close and can't go and see him. We drove around a little tonight and went up to Gate 8 and turned around. It was hard knowing that he is RIGHT there! Going to Six Flags tomorrow with the younger kids....should help take my mind off of things.

Safe travels, have a great time at your M&G...and Woo-Hoo PIR!
