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."

Whew, I was almost afraid to ask and am very glad and relieved to hear that all is well with both of you! I agree that these next weeks are going to be so much better than the first 4 weeks of silence. Do you know if your husband's division is the brother division to 245 (my son's div.)?
Everything is good with me. Thanks for asking, A-team2006! And, yes, I am extremely anxious for upcoming PIR. Do you plan to attend the Meet & Greet at Ramada Inn on August 4th?
So...any surprises in today's mail? If you don't receive it today, maybe you should call the recruiter and let them know. It is a form letter and there's valuable information on it that you'll need for PIR. You already have the address and PIR date, but the only other thing specific to your SR is the personal note they write on the bottom. It' only a few lines, but it's amazing what those few words of communication will mean to you. There's also a brochure with hotel/travel information, but that should be easy enough to get from the recruiter.
You might also try talking to someone at your post office. Not sure if there's anything they can do, but it's worth a try. I'm praying again that you get it this week. Who knows, you may start receiving real letters before the form letter arrives. I have heard of that happening also. Good luck to you. I think about you every day!!!
