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."

Ladies, less than a month to PIR. It was wonderful talking to my SR. He sounded in good spirits, but sounded as if he had a cold. Looking forward to meeting you all.

My brother called his gf and she said he was doing well, just sounded tired. Apparently he was in the pic on facebook. He told us where he was standing, but we still can't find him. Haha. I don't think I'll be at the meet and greet, but hope to see you all at PIR.
