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."

I just printed out my Gate Pass. I read somewhere that you should print out 2 copies just in case something happens to one. I'm assuming our graduation will go really fast with only 7 divisions. The last two graduations had 11 & 13 divisions. I guess that means more time with our Sailors, Yay!

I have been finishing up the PIR ribbon orders for this group. Almost all those that have been paid for have already been mailed but I still have several orders that I have not received payment for. Hopefully the ones that were mailed will be here by tomorrow. If you forgot to make your payment please let me know and you can still make it with PayPal and I can have them in the mail by tomorrow morning. Your PIR is very close (I know you love hearing that) so if you want ribbons you have to act fast and let me know ASAP. Thanks, Lora

Only 7 days left, no phone calls in weeks, but at least letters twice a week. Has anyone received a phone call lately? I don't know about the rest of you but I need to hear my SR's voice. I guess we won't hear from them until after BS.

I thought maybe we would get a call last week, but our SRs are busier than ever with the PIR performances they have to do on top of everything else. The pictures of him at PIR last Friday have gotten me through this week. And I know we will hear from him and hug hug hug next week. Keep your chin up Gn. It won't be long now. And repeat after me: no news is good news.
