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."

TammyP, I'll get Wade to get Josh to write. LOL We got one on Tuesday and which was from Thursday. We got two today but I'm not sure what days they were written yet. I'll let you know. Anna, you are welcome to come over by yourself if Steve won't. Or we can come get you! Can't wait to meet you all.

just heard from a friend whose son is at the Naval Academy that this week on the Military Station they are having Navy week. He said the shows are very interesting. Also heard from my house that there are two more letters today! Can't wait to get home.

Sorry, hit send before I wanted. I will have my 85-year old mother with me and I know TammyP is bringing her mother as well. We have a living room area with kitchen. Also, I believe the hotel has a big area we can get together in because they have daily happy hour and food Monday through Thursday. So we could meet there as well. My friend and I could prepare hors d'oevres since we are getting in Wednesday afternoon and would have plenty of time to get to the store. That way when everyone arrives Thursday evening, they can wander over. Just a suggestion I wanted to throw out for the group.

I am glad to host the meet and greet at Homewood Suites Thursday evening if everyone would like.

Hello everyone day is letter day for me!! YEAH!! He said that the aircondition went out last sat and it was very humid!! the floors were wet and slick and people were falling down including him. They are doing weapons this week and inspections.
Carloyn I will be staying at the Navy Lodge too...
Meet and greet sounds good...there are also acouple of old stand by restraunts near the base...I have been to Flanagins and it is close to the base,...many groups meet therethe night before PIR...but where ever you decide to go I would love to join you all.

I'm so excited! The guys are going to be thrilled!

Do you want to try to aim for a Thursday evening meet and greet at the Homewood Suites? We could start the discussion under here I believe. I will have at least eight family members there with us. Speaking of, I need to remind Wade that if he has any of the guys that don't have a full slate for PIR, I need some spots.

-
Oh believe, me, he will be more than glad to perform. LOL I sent him an article out of the Ithaca Journal that is about a group of 13-year olds that have formed a band. I know they'll get a kick out of that.

Great thinking! I am going to his concert tomorrow night. Can't wait! Darius is from Charleston and each year he does a school supply concert. It will be great this year with his new CD. I never went when it was Hootie & the Blowfish.
