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."

Comment by Paula on April 29, 2014 at 11:49pm: Thanks so much Sharon. I didn't know what to think. I didn't know there was a Facebook page for the FIT Program. I guess I will wait and see. The last time I heard from him was this past Monday. Where is your son at now? Thanks again for responding Paula

Comment by Sharon on April 29, 2014 at 11:10pm: Hi Paula, if he hasn't already, he will move over to FIT. My son just went through it, he was initially over a minute. They work closely with the SR 's to get them where they need to be to pass, and from what I have seen it is a very effective program that gets them through and on to their A school. The hard part is the lack of hearing from them and wondering, so know that he will get a call roughly after two weeks or when he passes his run, whichever comes first. My son tells me he hated it, but whatever they do, it worked haha. You can get mail to him at Ship 4 Div 2347 3600 Ohio St. Great Lakes, IL 60088 I hope this helps and have you checked out the Facebook page for FIT yet?

Comment by Paula on April 29, 2014 at 10:16pm: My son is having trouble passing was due to graduate 5/2. What happens now?

Comment by KierstinsMom on April 28, 2014 at 6:19pm: She's getting them now. I just wish their morale was higher. They're taking it out on each other, which isn't healthy for any of them!

Comment by momoffour (Ship 11 Div 153) on April 28, 2014 at 3:13pm: KierstinsMom, call Public Affairs Office 847-688-2405 at RTC and tell them what happened maybe they can help. She needs those letters!!!!!

Comment by sammy1990 on April 25, 2014 at 7:50pm: everyone is different. my son was about that and took 7. but he was recovering from pneumonia. try watching some YouTube videos for tips for her. my son said it took figuring out his pace. he couldn't start fast. he had to stay consistent. I think they are to run on the balls of their feet and lean forward. (but check it out. I'm going from memory). good luck.

Comment by KierstinsMom on April 25, 2014 at 7:09pm: Hi, Ladies. New to the FIT discussions. My daughter's PIR was today. Well, supposed to be today. She's over by 1 minute and 39 seconds. I've been mailing her letters daily but her last letter arriving today stayed she hasn't gotten anything from us. I hope that gets sorted out quickly. I have been sending them to the new address. In her letter dated Monday, she has failed twice and states she only has 8 more attempts. I didn't realize there was a cap, but I guess that makes sense. Anyone know what the average attempts made for someone over that much time?

Comment by sammy1990 on April 22, 2014 at 9:21pm: Sharon, did you get your call?

Comment by sammy1990 on April 22, 2014 at 2:37pm: he'll call about 530. he has to move to thu and bud into another division's call time. might even get on Facebook. hang tight.... hurry up and wait has begun.

Comment by Sharon on April 22, 2014 at 2:18pm: My SR passed his run on Friday and did BS last night, still no call though LOL GRRRRRRRR I just want to know now if he got through it. Anyone else have an SR go last night? Have they called? UUUGGGHHHH LOL :)
