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."

Question, do we order these just to have, To wear to the meet and greet? Do we order for our SR, I am guessing we don't wear them to PIR as that would be too casual. I definitely want one just to have it but just not sure when the appropriate time is.
Thanks for the link!! -

Hi Guys! I finally got a call from my girl last night. She was in good spirits. She said some of them that didn't get to call last week because of watch or appointments got a 10 min. call last night. I hope some of you got some calls too. It was so great to hear her voice! Hope you all are having a great weekend!

Hi. My son is also graduating on October 19th. I can't wait to see him! I'm assuming he'll ship out the very next day for A school the way everyone is talking.

Hi everyone! I can't believe we have less than 20 days until we finally get to see our SRs!!! I'm getting so excited! We are trying to decide which meet and greet to go to. I would love for all of us to be able to plan on going to the same one. It looks like many are planning on going to Sarge's. I might go to that one. We are staying at the Navy Lodge (or whatevery they call it) :). Where are most of you planning on going for the meet and greet?

My boyfriend and I are getting pretty excited also! Never been to Chicago before. We will be arriving around 12 noon on Thursday, renting a car, and heading over to the Residence Inn (Marriott). I think we are going to the meet and greet at Sarge's. It looks like a lot of fun.
