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."

Sue, MOST of the time they will wait in Florida. They clear them out of Great Lakes ASAP to make room for the next group of recruits.
My son PIR'd on a Friday before a holiday - so I changed plans and got to spend Monday with him also - and he left Great Lakes the following Wednesday. We did not know the location of his A school changed until that Wednesday. He called me from the airport. He was headed home to San Antonio, TEXAS - but it got changed to Virginia. One thing with the Navy - things change!!

Yes, Joni, yes I do live close to Cecilia. I'll even bring her a dinner after her surgery if she lets us know when it is!
Melanie - sounds GREAT - why don't YOU set up the event? If you don't know how - let me know and I'll either do it - or help you! You just need to find the location. I am not that familiar with the area. We ate at a local pizza place in Waco that was just fabulous. It does not have to be fancy - just room to roam and visit.

Melanie - I live near Beaumont - maybe we could get together and ride up to Denton together!!!
Does anyone want to meet in the Galveston/Kema area like we did last year?
I don't think the same restaurant is still there - thanks to Hurricane Ike - but there are others.
I just ate at Guido's on the seawall in Galveston - it was awesome - about $20 a person. Kinda pricy - but REAL nice!!! And we could walk the beach!

ugh - I would absolutely LOVE to go help with that house!! I work Thursday and Monday evenings. It is about a seven hour drive - but I'm not deciding yet. What is we have absolutely NO carpentry skills - beyond - I can do the math!!! Well, my ex- built cabinets - so I do know a little. I have helped lay Formica many a time.
