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."

My husband will be there for 21 weeks. :( He will be an AC- Air Traffic Controller. Hopefully my two little ones and I might join him there. But I'm not sure.

Hi JackJack26,
Welcome to the group. My son is in group 026 (brother group) and will be heading to FL as well (Aviation machinist).
Lots of great information on here and in the main group(PIR 11/27/2013 TG 003).
What we don't or can't find out from our SR's we can usually hear through the grapevine around here :)

Good Morning Friends ! The USS Kearsage challenge coin I ordered from PIR gifts came yesterday - I couldn't be happier with it. For the price, it's VERY nice. Using it for my son's PIR gift.

I didn't see it there - at the very beginning of this thread, Craig gave us all a history of the ships - I saw it there

Bethany NY- where do you PIR gifts order from? Is there a website
-
-
-
pirgifts.com. I think someone here manages the site (? Craig maybe)- proceeds go to help the NavyDep site which was in valuable to my son before he left.
