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."

Callie I am so sorry, I got a similar call last night. She got hurt and sent to medical. I am so upset about not being able to see her, but even more worried about her and her state of mind. I wish they could talk long enough to let us know what to expect next. Lesliet and Callie my prayers are with you and you SR's. Thank you everyone for getting me through this far I pray for all of our SR's and wish them only the very best.

Thanks ladies. This too shall pass. Right? Not a lot we can do about it. I agree it would be really nice to be able to talk longer than 30 seconds. :(
Prayers for your girl Mary I hope it is not anything really serious!

There is info on the meet and greet at the Sarge-Sundance Saloon and the Ramada. It is on the first page of the group under the weather picture. You can click on the links for more info. I am trying to go but since they end at 8 p.m. I am not sure I will get to Waukegan by then. I might have my husband drop me off and let him go check into the hotel. Then come back to get me. I really want to meet everyone!

Yes, I wouldn't miss PIR for the world. Just got my last letter and my son says no one knows what PIR stands for. LOL
We are from South Elgin, IL. We live about an hour or so from Great Lakes. I am going to try to go to Sarge's meet and greet if we can pick up my mom and get up there in time. It ends at 8 p.m. My son's bunkmate is from Ohio??
Our division is wearing green scarfs to the PIR. As you can see from the names of the divisions, we each got different colors. It was just a way to meet others from the division at the PIR and the meet and greets.

haha and apparently the word about the colored scarves got around to the SR's as well. My SR told me to wear green like I didn't already know! My girlfriends mom made flag ribbons with green trim. Hopefully that will be identifiable enough.
