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."

Hello Annie, we received two letters this week. According to my son, they are staying very busy! He too stated that he enjoys our letters, but not able to respond to all. I am going to continue to write him up until 1 1/2 week prior to PIR.
I'm not sure about the Chicago Pizza, but would love to find out! :)
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Wonderful! I am attending his PIR and cannot wait! I look forward to meeting everyone as well. I have only received two letters from my son and starting to wonder if everything is ok. I know they are extremely busy, especially now! Can someone help me? What week are they in now? I have been following what they do week by week, but I somehow lost track now! Nothing new for me..ha ha.!

If anybodys son/daughter wears contacts, I found out that I can mail one pair and a 1oz bottle of solution a week prior to graduation. I just have to mark on the envelope for PIR only. I know he will like that instead of those funky glasses!

I just met our SR's.. I am in Michigan working in hospital ER..it was so cool talking with him and picking his brain as an insight there now! He did say that during battle station 21 they have toheard pass as a whole unit they or they will be held back a week this scares me considering my on the latest letters saying that there are a few in his unit that just don't care to be a team...please let them fall into line!!!!"

It scares me to. My son said that he told the Chief that they have to be a team, and she agreed..I really hope they all come together and pass! Moms, let us all pray and write and give them as much encouragement as possible to give them the strength they need to pass! I am praying every day!
