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 received a letter from my SR today ! He sounded really good. His division 014 is doing great. He also had some personal accomplishments as well. I can't believe how close PIR is getting. Remember ladies our first posts....most of us didn't have a clue what to expect and so many questions. I still have lots of questions but have learned a wealth of information from all our veteran Moms as well as each other. Learning as we go. Can't wait to meet you ladies at Sarge's Meet & Greet.
Stay Strong...........:)

I just sent you a friend request diannep. I talked with my SR and he had the exact date. He said they had just discussed it that day (the day I talked with him) and so I'm sure it is the accurate date.
Can't wait for PIR....two more weeks. Wow, how close we are getting. As the veterans told us in the beginning, it really did go pretty quick.
Stay Strong girls....soon very soon :)

Lol.
Can't wait to meet up at Sarge's on the 21st. Not long now.... :)
