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."

Your son is with mine. We will also be at PIR. Have you heard from him, other than the box and form letter?

No, not yet. Hopefully soon though. Have you? I read somewhere it would probably be during week 3 that we get one. Do you know if they'll have liberty on Sunday too if A School is @ Great Lakes? I'm trying to decide about travel dates.
