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 know the feeling on that first call.. it took my son 3 trys to pass RLP yes he rolled in to a different class.. they have to score above a 80 to pass ..my sons first try was 76 and had to go to the Med center for a IV (he got dehydrated)..dont get scared it was summer time and it was hot there when he was going thru RLP.. he was fine after.. they do all work to gether and they buy all of there clothes small for the inspection its easier to iron.. I even had to send my son a bottle of sta flo starch which i never heard of before, clear nail polish goo be gone and a few other things he needed.. for his uniforms.. you know my son still never showed me how to iron lol and my son got the nickname BOBBLE HEAD.. some of the DI are Centers, Foshee, Anderson,Jackson, Salazar that had my sons classes ...
