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."

Hi all, Someone suggested that we ask our SR to stay where they are and we will find them...that's assuming we have been able to spot them during the ceremony!
Ill wear whatever color is agreed upon. Not sure if I will make it there as he is grad and go and it is a far trip but sure hope so! Hoping for a letter today. Be safe all.

Do we want to where brightly colored scarves for PIR? If so what color? The main group suggested gold for all of us, or do we want a separate color just for the eight of us. With close to 600 sailors graduating at PIR, I keep wonder how I am going to find my SR after liberty call.
