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."

Hey Minkur. Apparently someone wrote something nasty about another division on a piece of toilet paper and they got the blame. I can't believe guys are pulling this kind of crap so close to the end (or at all for that matter.) Regardless, praying that all of our guys are Sailors by tomorrow. :)

On one of the surveys that I got back Gary did write "I have no idea" on the day.  I know they keep them so busy.  I'm glad Ya'll are going to PIR and can't wait to meet you!

Sounds like a great plan!  If your sailor can't see you on Monday, you can take a drive through Wisconsin which is very close--drive over to Lake Michigan!  We loved doing that...saw the waves and then the part that was totally frozen...with fishermen ice fishing through a little hole from the pier...and yet mallard ducks were swimming near shore in a small portion that was thawed!  Kind of amazing...

Good morning!  I posted on the main board to you in answer to your question about time with your GL A School sailor. The person who posted above your post is incorrect.  Not all sailors going to GL A School move over right after PIR (GradNGo).  Some are held on RTC for a few days and move over mid-week the next week.  Your recruit should find out in another week or so if he is GradNGo or not.  Only he will know.  If you can't hold off on flight arrangements right now, then I would suggest you stay at least until Sunday night as you should have the weekend with him for sure.  If he is GradNGo and moves over on Friday, you may even get overnights with him.

So glad you finally got your phone call!  It seems to mean all the difference in the world.  We are now in the final stages and I think the worst is over for our SR.  Are you going to PIR?
