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."

THE CALL JUST CAME!!! I was sooo excited that I cut him off and he said, "Now I forgot what I was supposed to say! But you probably know everything anyway!" He has been picking on me about knowing more than he does because of N4Ms! Hahaha, oh my goodness! I'm a crying fool right now! Just wanted to share this with all of you!

Ladies more than likely your PIR date will be 12/10...one of you may want to start the PIR group. Name it something simple like PIR 12/10/2010...somethingwasy to find when searched for.
If your PIR is 12/17...no big deal just change the date (change the name of the group) -

Wow Jessica, that would only be 6 weeks. It seems awfully short for our kids! Why do you think it will be that fast?

Well...not sure just a gusstimate..but it could be 12/10. So, you may want to wait to form the group. The RTC skips a week two or three times a year. BUT more than likely they will "rush" these divisions through to get them all PIR'd before holiday stand down which starts 12/17
RUSH divisions just do everything a little faster or quicker -

Ok. Thanks for the info Jessica. Good to know the 12/17 date is a sure thing.

Yep...Holiday stand down starts at 5pm on 12/17...so they MAY have a PIR that day...who knows (except for the Navy)
