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."

We tried to order photos through NEX, and they said that we have to wait until Friday and do the order in person.

Photos take about a week to 10 days to come if you order them following PIR (some of those in the 09/23/11 PIR group got them this weekend or today); if your Sailor ordered them, they could be ready at PIR. Reorders take 2-5 weeks. The DVD takes 5-6 weeks to come and the Keel comes about 6-8 weeks later than that.
