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."

Yeah, that's hard. Maybe he's trying not to worry you, but instead is actually doing the opposite. No phone call today? We didn't get one today/this weekend. Hoping and praying for good news this week. I hope you hear from him soon.

I'm just a bit worried since he had a doctors appointment on July 27th and he said that he would write to let me know what happened. I just wish I knew that he was getting my letters.

I know it's hard and a huge adjustment, Alex's-Mom, but try to be patient. While it's been a while since he's written, you spoke to him just two weeks ago. I hope you got or will get a call today. We haven't gotten a call yet, this weekend. They used to get no calls home during boot camp, so the calls we have been able to get, we have been very thankful for. Hang in there! :). If it's only been two weeks, I'm sure he's alive. ;) You hang in there, too! Keeping my fingers crossed and praying hard!!!

BUT..... be prepared, many have said they are rude or refused to say anything about a sr. you take your chances.

alex's-mom, you can call the poa office on Monday and tell them this. they will probably tell you his status and that he will call when it changes. though they advice us not to call, it's fair to when you have heard nothing for weeks and are unsure if he's in fit or rcu.

Still waiting to hear from Alex. 2 weeks without a call and 3 weeks without a letter. All I want is to know he is still alive

Well, I hope he calls this weekend

Alex's _Mom, One of the lady's from our Facebook Fit group just come back from visiting her Sailor who had just graduated this is what she said when I asked her about his liberty. " Now, his Liberty was aligned with the GL A school rules on Liberty. He moved from THU to "across the street" a few days after battle stations. He had to get a chit (special permission) for me to sign him out versus liberty buddies." I hope that helps.

Question, When Alex finally passes his PFA's and BS will he get the same liberty schedule as graduates? Friday, Saturday and Sunday? His A School is in Great Lakes.
