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."

Hi stingyb21 (a.k.a. Stephanie), we are staying at the Ramada Waukegan/Gurnee. My son's note on the form letter said not to worry, they're taking good care of him. That's encouraging, but May 6th can't come soon enough! Glad your son was feeling better he should be all better by now :)

tink11,
you should join us at PIR group http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir562011 just click on the http address then click on +Join.
You'll meet lots of people there with SR's PIRing 5/6 along with your husband. They're from all different divisions (there's a few of us from 12/158), but lots of great information and support there, it's a really great group of women to network with.
