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."

Hi! I am gong to PIR and I have RSVP's for Sarge's. My husband and I are driving up from Houston, so hopefully the weather will be clear and the roads safe. Three more weeks!! I haven't decided where to stay. I want to meet with my son at the airport and see him before he leaves for "A" school. I've been procrastinating on those hotel reservations because my husband wants to bring our 2 dogs and I will need to find someplace that accepts pets (a corgi and a small lab mix). I do have backup plans for the dogs, if that doesn't work.
I haven't heard anything this week. I had hoped to get a letter on Thursday, but no luck there. I've been thinking a call might come, and I walked around work all day Thursday with my cel phone in my hand! But, no call came. Maybe tomorrow. He has only called on Saturdays so far, however, he mentioned the last time that it was a make-up call because he missed the Division's Thursday call. I keep telling myself "no news is good news."
Have you heard from your SR?
