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."

Shanny's Mom,
2,200 Recruits are placed in FIT (Fitness Improvement Training) each year because they have trouble meeting their fitness requirements. You can read about it by clicking HERE. The important thing to remember is that the Navy wants your daughter to succeed. 93% of the Recruits in FIT go on to join the fleet. Good luck!

I can't tell you how much i appreciate the comments and great information. It eases my mind and helps me cope with this overwhelming time. At least i know more what to expect and that helps a lot. Still I'm gonna be glued to the phone hoping she calls with good news. This is really hard!

Hi, I had a hard time during my sons last week too as he had problems with his float; when he called home and wrote his letters he was so distraught, just reading your concerns gives me flashbacks. He got through, just know in your heart that your daughter will try her very best. Good luck!!!

I received a call from my recruit today saying he failed the swim test. PIR is 3/18 will he have other chances to pass

Good luck to you and your son. He will have more opportunities. Worst case scenario you will get a call from him next week saying he has been moved to the FIT division if he hasn't passed yet. But that's worst case scenario and he still has several chances before that happens and still more chances after that happens. So positive thoughts coming your way that the next call you get will be the one that says he passed!

Shanny's mom, the call she received was the call indicating that he was moved to FIT since his division would have had the last PFA today before BST.
