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."

attendance to PIR? the final 4 isn't determined for a few weeks yet, he's in control of that. There's not much we can do about who the final 4 are, but some of us have extra people that will be going, and hopefully they will be let in to watch after the people with ticket are seated.

Yeah. You have to write him and tell him who all will be going. Then he puts it on the list. Each recruit gets 4. If you have more than 4 you have 2 options.1- Wait and see if there is room after everyone else has went in. or 2- See if he has a friend who is inviting less people and put them on his list.

Can't wait for the letter. Hope my son wasn't the one getting the others in trouble on Sunday. Haven't heard anything since the box and first phone call came after stenciling his clothes on the 10th.

Ok who was getting in trouble, My daughter is a handful and can be a mess .

I am really starting to stress. She would ask me before she left "Has it hit u yet Mom that I am leaving soon?" I always said not yet, Well it really got to me last night. I really miss my daughter, We both had problems sleeping and would stay up all night together, now its just me and this d@#* lap top HA HA. I think I have written maybe 6 letters already. If anyone else reads them they are gonna think man your mom is nuts, cause I tend to ramble on and just write or talk about whatever comes to mind.

I know the feeling.. I think this is getting harder day by day.. I do fine during the day, then night time comes and it really sets in that he's gone.. I've written my sailor every day since he's left. He probobly got a TON of mail the other night when they recieved it all for the first time..lol.. I ramble too.. down to what I ate all day..lol.. but I figure they're just glad to hear from us, even if it means we are rambling! We somehow have to keep being strong.. hopefully we will get a letter this week and it will help make things a little bit easier!

Nights tend to be the worst for me as well. You get home from a long day and you go to bed and your just wanting to talk about it and no one is there. It is sad. But that's where we have to stay strong. Sometime I will be driving down he road and act like I am talking to him and then I say God please let him know he is on my mind and I love him and miss him. I have to admit it does make me feel better. I pray we get letters today or tomorrow. It would really be great.
