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."

congrats.... imo, those who appreciate the "I'm a sailor" call most are those who have been in fit. so you know, they do bs with another division, then usually have to move their belongings to another building. then finally get to Ricky heaven where another division has call priority (they get last in line). the calls might not come until 4 or 5. but they will come! congrats!

To Claudia and NukeWife I still pray everyday several times a day and will continue to pray for your daughters. They will pass. My son told me that he was hoping that they will still let him be there cheering everyone on and maybe run with a few while he waits to go to BS. He is not the only one they have an adopted Navy family when one hurts we all do and when one succeeds we all succeed. Hooyah Go Navy

Does anyone know if MLK Day is considered a holiday for the Navy? Was wondering if they'll only be testing twice next week. Thanks

Father in the coming days
We will need You, but our recruits will need You more!
Let them perform their tasks with a sense of duty.
Let their reflexes be quick and their hands steady. Let their head be clear and their eyes sharp.
Let their mind and body be strong and their spirit stronger.
God please, stand by our recruits and watch there backs when they cannot!
Father, I love this recruit of mine!
Take from us what they need and give us what they don't
Take our love and pride and let them feel it!
Let them know that We are with them every step of the way. God please help my recruit achieve the goals that they aim for.....
I PLEAD on my bended knees, that which I cannot do without YOU!
AMEN
