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."

Sarge's Meet and Greet
For those of you considering whether you should go to a Meet & Greet event I would highly recommend Sarge's Meet & Greet located at the Sundance Saloon. My older son and husband thought I was crazy to sign us up a Meet & Greet and I could tell when we first arrived they still felt that way. But once Sarge started his slideshow and giving such great information and advice regarding PIR they couldn't say enough. The food was okay. But information was absolutely priceless and such a big help. I would highly recommend that you sign up for this Meet & Greet. If you have any questions regarding PIR day he will have the answer.

Are we able to see our recruit this night?

Sorry you don't get to see your recruit until PIR. You will see them march in with their unit. Then they will call liberty at the end of Pass in Review. Enjoy every moment you get with your sailor because time flies.
