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."

There are several meet and greets that you can go to. You might want to post this on the main page too so more see it. I am sure there will be several that will let you know which meet and greet they will be attending.

Hello! There are several actually! The one at Ramada, and then Sarge's meet and greet. If you go to the right column here on the side, you can RSVP to both. Many of us will be there, and it's a chance to get to know each other face to face.
There's also a facebook page for this PIR, if you are on Facebook. Do a search for PIR 8-31. It's a closed group, so one of the admin will have to add you, but you can message them and request it. Let me know if you have trouble finding it.
We're one big supportive family! Welcome in!

Hi Chantell - I think most of this TG has opted to sign up for Sarge's meet & greet on Thursday at the Sundance Saloon. We are a good mix of sometimes nutty folks, but we are harmless and supportive of each other. :) Hope to see you in a couple of weeks.
