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."

Tristian's mom- CONGRATS!! what a wonderful feeling. Be proud. i know I was when i got that call.
Jacqueline- DJ is not shipping the car. He called today and he is apparently planning on buying one when he gets to his destination.?? we'll see. he has been saving his money and after planning it out he says he can do it. so we'll see. but if you wouldn't mind on passing along that information about shipping a car that would be great. I'm sure it might come in handy.
Ruth- i have keeping good thoughts and prayers for your cub. I'm sure things will work out for him. What an honor to be asked. Proud mother moment for you. You did a great job raising him.
Has anyone heard anything about graduation details yet?

Jscqln, Ya know T still hasn't received his orders yet although he is a Reservist they may be the reason.

Good Evening All,
I wanted to post that T took his test 12 and passed with flying colors...OH MY!! Does it feel sooo good to hear your cubs voice after he completed A school weekly testing with an average of 90%...speaks volumes to T and ALL the sailors who said" I'm really going to take this journey as if I were tested on my work ethics...values and standards of which my fore fathers wrote that in the constitution of the United States". Needless to say my hubby & myself could not be prouder!!
Ruth, As your cub has demonstrated...he is giving it his All and he is being rewarded for just that...it called options!!

I should have said:
EOD = Explosive Ordnance Disposal
Some navy seals that had moved over to EOD were in our area for training a few years back.

Ruth, All I can say is your cub must have a steady hand and a quick mind to handle Explosives!! I would be sooo Proud of him to be "asked" or Offered such a rate...I know you are very Proud...and it takes a spirit bigger than most...Good Luck with the decision.
Hey there Jacqln, So what your saying is...After test 12 tomorrow T will go to the Nex, purchase the"patch" is the caduceus a patch I thought it was a Pin?!
-
-
Jscqueline, Did K's Commander hand the caduceus to him or was it pinned on him...just wondering...
-
-
Tristan Mom- Congrats on test 11.. I will send good thoughts your way for test 12.. almost there. you must be proud!
Jacqueline- He will leave first thing Wednesday so we changed our plans to arrive Saturday and stay thru Wednesday. I'm so excited to see him. Good to hear he liked his car. I actually have to drive back the car DJ was using at CP. I'm glad he had a car while he was there. It made it eaiser for him to see family when he had liberty.
-

Jacqueline, you are correct and he starts clinicals on Monday...test 12 this Friday and he is really excited to be receiving his caduceus on Friday also.
I'm hoping that he will go to CP for fmtb so we could take him his car, we have it stored on our property.

hi all. i am new to this group but it is nice to see some faces/names on here from other groups that i am in as well. my bf is in GL right now and just took test 10. test 11 on monday and test 12 on fri. then clinicals and graduation! i can't wait to see him a graduation! because he will miss the next FMTB schooling starting on the 13th or so of oct. some of his class is graduating a week early so they can go before c schools start. so it looks as though he will be going to the jan 24th class of FMTB. he learns more about everything on thrus. i am super excited and nervous for it all. i plan to move to cali if all goes well! a little nervous about that too. cali is expenisve! anyways his orig orders are to be stationed there for 3 yrs. but reading your posts about how that was what was supposed to happen with others and then they got deployed makes me worry! i know anything is possible. i am still trying to get used to having the love of my life in the military. as much as i am SO VERY PROUD OF HIM, i am trying to get used to not counting and planning on anything. i am sure i will be on here often for advice! thanks for reading this! just trying to get aquantied with ANYTHING that will help me get ANY info!
