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."

OMG! So, my son just told me did so well on his test today and others recently that he's brought his GPA up to 2.98. That is a Mother's day gift to me. (He doesn't realize it, I'm sure, but that's ok.) :D SOOO HAPPY! What a great day!

We're all going to be missing our son's more than ever come Sunday. I'm excited for the phone call though. Happy Mother's Day to you all!

The boy wonder mom, sending your son all the prayers he can take. :) I hope he'll do well on his test. Yes, so happy he'll have some extra study time. I know he'll use it and needs it! Best wishes to all our guys!

Jeff mom, and Dinky it's a great advance when they get to voluntary PT because then they really enjoy their workouts. They go and release some stress. For voluntary study hours, I don't think my sailor will get to enjoy that, LOL. He's been on 10 mandatory hours since January but for this last month his hours got raised to 20, because the test he failed 2 weeks back. Now he's got to deal with the current tests and the relearn of the material he failed for the final comp. He's doing well as best as can be expected. Again, praying for all our boys!

1402 is having their final PTs this coming week, and there's another test tomorrow. Everyone should be very busy just about now.
Praying and wishing the best for all our boys :)
