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."
Please note! Changes to this guide happened in October 2017. There are now tickets issued, and there are no longer parking passes for PIR.
Please see changes to attending PIR in the PAGES column. The PAGES are located under the member icons on the right side.

Hi Pat, I meant to send a private message with that friend request, but ... clumsy fingers! I wondered if there is a Holiday Project this year? My Girl Scout troop has been participating for years, and was looking forward to it again, but I haven't seen anything.
Thanks, Val
Thank you for the welcome! Im slowly learning how to navigate thru the site. Excited to be here!
Thank you, Pat! I have boxes ready to ship. I appreciate your efforts to organize this month after month and allowing us to participate!
Hi Pat, it's been forever. Just an FYI.
I wrote to P&G asking for a donation of any products they might consider. It's late in the year to ask but you never know.
Hope all is well with you. Will let you know if I hear anything.
