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."

Malachai's mom, I just wrote "bemllo" please read it above>> about this subject, hope it would help .... even if they have to fly out the next Sat. Morning, they usually will get to be with their family after PIR is over until around 7 or 8pm ...they have to be back to the base by a certain time that Friday night and can't be late! is what other Navy Moms have posted. Nothing is ever in concrete and is subject to change .....it pays to just be prepared & flexible, Blessings

Hi Nancy, I want to make sure you and your family going to PIR have ribbons to wear to show your pride for your son and also to honor your husband. I am sure he is looking down from heaven and very proud of your son. No worries please, these are a gift from me. I just need to know how to get them to you :-) I sent you a friend request. I will add a cross to each one in honor of you husband. I hope your kids at home make this a very special day for you and I hope your son gets to call you today. Happy Mother's Day and God Bless you and your family. Sincerely, Lora (aka, Lala the PIR Ribbon Queen)

So sorry your son has been sick. The day we got our phone call, my son had a terrible cold. He said his throat was very sore. I did hear on here that pink eye goes around there. Yuk! Hopefully, they are getting well and it is warming up there. Patiently waiting on May 20, just a few more days now!

I got a letter from my son dated 5/2. He says they took their Div photos and got their National Defense Medals. He's so proud. He loves the food and is putting on much needed weight. He was quite the skinny kid.
