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."

That former Sailor must have had PIR in the 70's or before because the last time the Navy had a Family Day was then. Now the first time you will see your Sailor is on the day of PIR. See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend to help you know how to plan your weekend.
(I'm leaving the group now, so if you have a comment for me, please leave it on my My Page.)

Wow that is great they waived the fee for you, I tried to change my husbands flight and explained that we were going to the Navy Graduation and they would not hear of any change, I had to actually just lose the one ticket and purchase a new ticket because it was cheaper that way. That was United. We are flying in on Thursday morning.

Hi Everyone
This is the first Thursday that I didn't receive a letter from my daughter. Wow, what a reality check. The days are dwindling and I'm on pins and needles with anxiety. Just waiting for the call. Hang tough everyone, we will get through this. I am so thankful for my new Navy Family.

Sounds like we are all in the same boat with anxiety not having heard any word for some of us 2 weeks and others just this week with no letters and no calls. We all have to stay strong and positive for our heros. I am sure we can all share the same pride in our recruits because we all know how brave they were to make this choice. We are almost there. Looking forward to meeting many if you next week.
