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."

Welcome and glad you found us!
You can probably still order DIV T Shirts for your SR's div and have them get to you before you leave for PIR.
Also, Lalaribbon queen makes ribbons to wear during the PIR.
The "I'm a sailor call will come after the pass Battlestations 21. See the discussion off the main page.
Lastly, make sure you make plans to meet everyone who's PIRing on 4 15. There is information to the right for the meet and greet at the Ramada Inn in Waukegan 6-8 pm CDT.
Welcome again!

I got an awesome letter from my SR yesterday! He is sooooo excited to see us! He passed his PFA and drastically improved his scores from the first time he took it. He said he'd be able to call me sometime today (Thursday). How can that be if they have battlestations TONIGHT??

Day confusion. It will be tomorrow that we all get calls with beaming voices on the other end. Sort of like childbirth. Lots of grunting and complaining but at the end just pride and a big sigh.

I have been glued to my cell phone for the last few hours worried that I might miss the call. Has anyone heard if the shutdown is going to affect graduation?
