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."

Is there a list somewhere that give you an idea of what they are doing that week?
Hair Cuts????

Do they make ALL the girls cut their hair, even if they have hair ties to keep it pulled back out of their face?
My daughters recruiter said that they changed this policy, not sure how honest our recruiter is!
PIR Attendance Question
Posted on April 4, 2012 at 7:13pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I have a very close family friend that wants to attend my daughters PIR, I understand that there is some open seating (NOT GUARENTEED TO BE AVAILABLE) that they only allow people entrance to right before the PIR starts....
Is this true? Can she get on base with me with proper ID and just wait until they allow people to be seated in the open seating area?
Does anyone know about things like this?
Train????
Posted on April 3, 2012 at 3:46pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I heard that there is a train that we can catch with our new sailors to head downtown Chicago. Does anyone know of the cost or anything about it?
