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."

Thanks Robsmom. I haven't decided what I'm wearing either. I'll be carrying a big silver sequined purse though and I don't think anyone could miss it. I don't know what to expect as far as crowds go. I hope I find you!!

Ladies we're almost there, I can't believe that we are down to 5 days. I have really grown so fond of all of you, and I don't know how I would have ever made it without all of you. I can't thank you enough for all of your support, encouragement and especially your compassion. Hugs ladies, you're the best.
Don't forget to RSVP for the M&G:

Ladies I know this might not be the case with our boys (BS nite before PIR)…but didn’t want any of you not to see this, just in case.
More interesting info from Hoppi aka Angie (she works at GL) she wrote on the PIR 7/1 Group:
BS21, cannot be talked about by anyone who has gone through it. They sign paper work that if they talk about it they can get into real trouble! So recommend you do not ask your loved ones about it. You can google Battle Stations and find out information about it. Yes the Sailors normally get a call after Battle Stations. Keep in mind not all divisions do BS the same night, so don't stress if you don't get a call. Also sometimes BS is done the night before PIR so they may not get a call.

Docsangel I am soooo happy that you got a letter . I'm sure it was a very emotional time but you deserve it. I did receive the bracelets today ladies they did a nice job can't wait to meet all you inspiring, caring and loving women in just a few short days.....I too enjoy hearing about all the letters and how they are all doing. My son doesn't write much about what is going on there only about what he misses here.
