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."

That is what I heard also. My son said the biggest test is on Oct. 4th. But he is looking at it like "You worry about that gator closest to the boat." So each weeks test is a big one. I think my son has lived in Florida to long....lol... Me, I am a mom so i worry about this week and next week and next year....etc...lol
