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."

Just yesterday I thought I was'nt going to be able to attend the PIR due to my income, but I had a family friend use thier Air Miles and was able to book my flight! For anyone else that cant afford to go, ask to see if anyone has air travel miles that they can donate to a great cause!

Was wondering if anyone was staying in Waukegan for PIR? Would anyone like to split the cost of a taxi? Pick up at Ohara airport and taken to Hotel. The pick up on PIR day is free to PIR then a $3.00 per person charge for the trip back to Hotel.

I got a letter!!!!
I wasn't expecting much but it was 12 pages! She sounds good and she feels good about her division. Send them good vibes. The DIV 010 comes over and sleeps in their compartment in the evenings and then leaves in the morning. The males do the same thing - leave for the evening and then come back.
What a ride this is!
It seems that Wednesday will be my letter day :)
