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 SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.

Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.
Hang in there!!!

Nope nothing here so far, I'd even settle for him calling his girlfriend right now!! Something!!! lol.
Already have my hotel room booked, no flight though we are gonna drive it, it's only a 7 hour drive for us, and flights were just too expensive. I can't wait, for PIR groups 951 and 952 also, if you haven't joined the 900 division on FB do so, they post pictures of PIR's every week, and we just might get a glimpse of our SR's in those. I keep stalking the RTC's fb page too in hopes of seeing him, but nothing so far.

thanks I've been there but our boys are staff and I am not so sure what they are doing?? It sounded to me like many of them are not very visible which was disappointing. Unlike the band and flags! but I do keep looking everyday.
