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."

Kristracice - My daughter was in the performing division as well. She directed their choir. It is really exciting and really helps them to feel like such a part of the ceremony. It is a beautiful thing. My daughter is in Hawaii now and will be deploying for a few weeks again in a couple of weeks.

Kristracice - do you know that the 900 division is the "performing" division. They do all the fun stuff at PIR. They also perform in the ceremony the week before their own! You might want to join both PIR groups and get someone to get pictures for you. By then, you will know what he will be doing in the ceremony (carrying a flag, singing, rifle drill, etc).
Wow - your conversation brings back such memories! Mine is almost finished with his five years! It has FLOWN by - thanks to Navy for Moms!

Barbie..LOL...sounds like something my son would have done! Hold on to it. My son left 3/19 and the plane note is all I have received from him. That was so cute. Made me laugh...thanks for sharing it. It is funny how much some of our kids are alike.
