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."

Well, now it is my turn to brag. My son is an F-18 aviator and still flying from carriers and ground stations. He has been flying for 13 years and will keep flying weekly at full quals (info for those Moms asking about how long a Navy pilot may fly). He just became a Commander today. He also is stationed at the Pentagon, but if transferred to a new station he will still be flying full quals each week. He is living his dream from 3 years old, and truthfully, my dream for him also since he was 3. I just gave him his new lid with the scrambled eggs with great pleasure. Well he did have to order it. He wants to have it for Memorial Day when he and his wife and their 3 and 5 year old sons spend time at Arlington National Cemetery laying roses on some very special headstones, more than DS wishes but in memory of special souls.
I could not be more proud of him and feel today like I am flying with him aa I use to do when he was at Embry Riddle U and I use to have him fly us for fun or in my role as an attorney to depositions , court hearings etc. His brother "K" is multiply disabled from birth .and my DS could not been a better brother at all times . DS took his brother with us into the air much to "K" delight with his brother's flying. Thanks to Skype we should all get to see the new uniformed Commander soon.
Yes, I am a very proud and happy Mom

jesnavymom: my son just commissioned Friday (Hooyah!) and he said it stands for (as CL said) Remdial Physical Training. It's a way to help the whole group improve on the curlups, pushups and the run.

Thank you!

jesnavymom: Definitely not an expert. I have heard it stands for remedial physical (or personal) training. Maybe this will help, I don't know how accurate this description is, things are always changing at OCS. https://www.reddit.com/r/newtothenavy/comments/3rjgjp/ocs_fitness_r...
