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."

My thoughts exactly! It was "hell week" so hopefully, they just did not have time to write as extra busy with inspections,etc. They should have taken pictures this past week :D can't wait to see how grown up they look. I am so excited! Post if any of you find out their battlestations date...know they will do great!

Is your guy holding a flag too?

No, he said he is too tall to hold one. I am so glad to hear his change in mood. Much more upbeat and positive and bragging on all the guys instead of being down on the group. The thing he was most proud of was that one boy had not passed his swimming test and he requested that cody go with him for his retake. Since cody is their religious pety officer, he could go to pray for him and encourage him! That made me most proud! God is reallymolding these kids into the men and women He has planned for them!

I did not hear the Taco Bell treat, but know he loved that! My son, of course, called friends first and saved last 15 min for us. No complaints...whatever he needs to get through..just so good to hear him and hear how much better he was. So proud of all of them! Made my week!
