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."

I got a letter today. I guess I spoke too soon. After an intense workout on Tuesday, she was in major pain due to her legs. Said she was due to go to medical on Wednesday and wouldn't run the test PFA that day. No calls from her, so I guess she's still in Ship 4. When it rains it pours. She just can't seem to get ahead. Paula, glad you got to talk to your son last weekend. Hope he passes his swim soon! I'll be praying for him too!

Sorry, hit send before I meant too. How's your son feeling? Hope he passes soon too if he hasn't already!!

Hi Paula, Got a letter from her yesterday saying she's feeling better than she has in a long time! So I hope that means she'll pas today. Keeping my phone glued to me for the next several hours. She has now until next Friday to pass. She and another girl run together and "chase" each other (one chases the other, then passes them a bit and then the other has to catch up and run pass, so on and so on) instead of just running. She mentioned that it's easier to think of it as a game of chase then staring at the clock and freaking out! I'll let you know what happens! Hoping today is THE day!!!
