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."

The ribbons are for parents, wives, family, friends etc. to wear to PIR. They are a great way to show support and pride for your sailor. They make it easy to recognize other Navy for Mom members and the also make a great keepsake. You can see pics on my page and on my facebook page, Unique Memory Makers. If you would like more info just click on my name to send me a friend request and I will send you all the info as well as some helpful tips for PIR. Thanks so much, Lora

My son got a call from his twin brother today. Sounds like everything is going good for our SR's.
Battlestations 21 is next week. Hard to believe they are so close to PIR.
Will be great to see my son. Miss him bunches, but know that he has made a great choice in joining the Navy.

My son forgot to put his passcode in on the first letter. I called the Public Affairs office to find out what to do and she said the only way I can get it, is he has to give it to me. Well, what if I don't get a call before then? I'm planning on going and it sure would be a bummer if I couldn't get in because I couldn't get a gate pass.

I think it is the same code for everyone w/ this PIR date as I did not have to put in any identifier to get the pass - just the code. do you know one of the mom's that you could call or privately e-mail? I think it would be a security problem to post it here.
Also - I beleive you can walk in without a gate pass as long as you are on your son's list.
