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."

My daughter also said pix where in their blues.. but PIR will be in their whites. Sounds like they're doing a great job!! HOOYAH 09/166!!!! She also asked me to say a prayer for them during finals (im sure she means battle stations). She said if you don't pass that, you get held back on training & PIR. Wishing our SR's (Future US Navy Sailors) the best of luck!!!
