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."

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 21, 2011 at 3:44pm: keger, maybe have your husband call on Monday. I doubt they would put two and two together and remember you called, LoL Maybe they have a lot of people in working in that office.

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 3:40pm: No, they said they will not give out the status of the SR's..now when all this mess was going on last week they would give me info..maybe they are sick of me..lol

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 21, 2011 at 3:36pm: keger, are they going to call you to let you know when he passes?

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 21, 2011 at 3:35pm: keger, I think it really depends on who you get on the other end of the phone at PAO. Wait a few more days and then try again. I wouldn't be surprised if when you call you find out he passed his run.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 21, 2011 at 3:32pm: keger, your son is going to make it because he really wants to succeed more than anything. He wants to be a Sailor and he is not going to let this run stop him.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 21, 2011 at 3:30pm: Keger and Sandy. I think these SR who have to work harder to get where they are appreciate being in the Navy more and are better at their jobs.

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 3:27pm: I talked to PAO yesterday and they wouldn't give me any information, and i reminded them that his div had PIR on Friday the 15th..

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 21, 2011 at 3:25pm: Speaking of not letting families know what is going on. I know of another mom whose son failed his final PFA run by 20 seconds. Her son called her to tell her that he would not graduating with his division. Those were the last words she heard from her son. She was very upset. She called Public Relations crying. There was a very nice gentleman at the other end of the phone. She told him that her son had called her the previous day with the news that he would not be graduating. She said that she did not have his new address and needed it so that she could write to him. She was bawling her head off saying that all she wanted to do was let him know that she loved him. She wanted to be know where he was. The PR officer said; Mam, Mam, please don't cry. If you give me your SR name I will see what is going on. She said: No, if I tell you his name then he might be picked on by the RDCs. PR officer, No mam, that will not happen. We don't do that here. I need his name so that I can find out where he is. She finally gave him his name. The PR officer called her back with his address and told her that he had passed his run and will be doing BS with another division. She told me that she just totally cried her eyes out and that the PR officer said: Mam, do you think we spend all this time and money on your SR for him not to pass?

Sandy, I think it is how you said. They want them to pass.

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 3:19pm: Sandy(former), don't worry we won't tell your hubby..lol Too bad about the gal having the baby, how scary for her not to have him with her at such a special time.

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 3:10pm: Sandy(former), thank you for the daily break down, sounds like they are looking after them and as long as the SR's haven't given up then they will succeed.

Sandy's (sailors son), I totally agree with you! you have been talking with me the past few days, you know the uncertainty and no communication is what's getting to me...I could have used a call from RTC, they don't have to let Jon call but it would be a saving grace for families if they let us know the goals and where out SR stand in the whole scheme of things..And they would only have to call once..
