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."

most all will get liberty from the end of PIR till 9.00 pm when they must be in there room you can meet them at the airport in the AM at the USO office from what i understand at ohara it is before security and you can spend time with them there you can bring them cell phone camera readers and computers Lap top anything they can put in a back pack and they can take them to their school you SR will know what they can have they cannot bring it back to the base on friday night They have to stay in uniform which will be dress whites but you may want to bring them something to put on in your hotel room to rest in they will be very tired and will most likely want some junk food. I am bringing some special stuff that My SR likes that i may not be able to buy in GL like cherry colk mountian dew red
Just plan to do what ever your SR wants to do those few hours he will have PIR is over about 1030 so you will have till about 8.30 with them hope this helps I will be glad to help any way i can just be prepared to follow yoursr lead Genie
