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."

See you in two weeks.
Glad your son hasn't gotten sick. My son mentioned that a few weeks ago even the RDC's had gotten it.

I will be at sarges. I'm so excited I can't wait! It will be nice to meet everyone. Should someone bring name tags so we can write or usernames on them? Lol!!!

That is a great idea.
I follow (stalk) a few Navy PIR FB pages, some are doing centerpieces for divisions and others are arranging Baskets for raffle at the meet and greet.
I have not shared anything on there because of security concerns and my user name there is the same as my sons.

Becuz it's a closed group it's ok to join the FB PiR page. No one except people in the group can see it. Where on here it is open for anyone to see. I was thinking of decorating the door. But my son hates attention!

Oh thanks, that is good to know.
We will be with our sailors two weeks from now at this time.
Can't wait.

It is OK to join the FB group, but just because it is a closed group it does not mean it is OK to post everything. You really have no idea who is in the group.
I am in a "secret" group on FB for my sons ship, and there are only 20 member in the group, but all of us still follow OPSEC/PERSEC. We never post where are sailors are going (if we even know), when they are leaving port, or what they are doing when out.
