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."

I am very disappointed with the only 3 guests rule though. Its difficult when our SR has 2 siblings like who doesnt get to go see the PIR? We booked our flight this wkend but our 14 yr old daughter was pretty disappointed at the thought she probably can't come to PIR.

Hi jayjaysmom! Glad you joined the group! I also have a 14 yr old daughter who will be waiting behind and not be able to go to the actual graduation ceremony. Maybe our girls can hang out together while waiting?!? I was hoping they would figure out a way to let them have 4 guests but no such luck. :(
Are you on Facebook? There is a FB page for our PIR date.... Great info on there, too.... -

Happy New Year everyone! Has anyone from our group received a phone call from their SR? I have received letters, but no call to date. Someone posted, not sure who, that they may get to phone today, 1/2/2013? Also, I do not see Sarge's Meet and Greet for 1/31/2013. Any idea where that link is located?

I think I read somewhere that Sarge was updating his info and hasn't had time to put it up yet. Should be coming up soon since we only have 29 more days!!!! :)
No phone call here, either....I'm so sad about that! :(

Okay, keep me posted should you see it before me so I can RSVP to his. Yes, very sad no phone call and only 2 letters.

Did you send him an e-mail from your own e-mail account? That is what I just did, however, I would like to make sure that he receives my RSVP. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!
