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."

What is BS21? They said as of his phone call he wasn't graduating but he told me he was running again tomorrow. If he does this BS21 does he go straight to A school or do we get time with him? Where can I go to find this out or do I call and talk to who? Sorry, just new to all this.

Thanks for all your help. The second site had lots of info. There wasn't one for his original PIR. Already feeling better. Guess shouldn't reserve anything until we know more. Thanks again

So when is he graduating??
-
-
But not this week or don't know??
-

Officer said "as of today he is not graduating on Friday. My son would tell me his new date" Son said "I'm taking the test tomorrow again" Didn't give me a new date or anything and I focused on trying to encourage him. I think I need to call the number they gave me or check with his recruiting office.

Have you heard anything about your sons PIR date yet? I was so upset to hear that he missed his PT by seconds!!!!

He runs tomorrow again then if he passes he does Battle Station and graduates. Won't find out til Friday morning. Heading out anyway unless we hear otherwise. If he doesn't make it, he stays and works on running until he gets it and then moves straight to A school, no PIR, no visit. Won't see him until Nov.

Oh man I'm so sorry ya'll are having the stress of this. The main thing is, is that he WILL graduate and WILL be a US SAILOR!!!
