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."

Hi, my son called on Saturday, May 12th (the day before Mother's Day). Keeping my fingers crossed worked - I was real surprised and so so happy to hear his voice. He said the division won a flag - Yahoo. Sounded real tired but holding on. SarahsMom I saw you also recieved a call. Hope everyone else did too!

She also said the won a flag- Academic. Apparently they scored high on an exam. They also had IT for not folding their sock correctly....

Hi Barbi, that's awesome !!!! I loved hearing that story. I am so happy they are all hanging in there okay and supporting each other. I hope my SR is the one you mentioned from NY :-) I believe today is Wk 5, Day 1 for them. We're almost their girls. Barbi, will you be staying at the Navy Lodge? We will be there and SarahsMom is also staying there as well. Hopefully we can meet up at some point. Not 100% we'll be at Sarge's Meet and Greet but am trying my best to get there (10 hour drive from NY). Rec'd a letter from my SR yesterday (multiple letters) - they all sound like they are doing great and everything is coming together. 21 Days To Go! :-)

Laurie, I also received a letter yesterday. She is doing great. Still no complaints. She has passed all her PFA's and written exams and is trying to improve her times on the run and the number of pull ups and sit ups. She wants to pass the guys standards. "Said the workouts were not as intense as she is use to so she might have to get in trouble to get some IT- just kidding Mom".
It really helps when they are doing well..... What a relief!
Can't wait to meet you ladies in person at PIR!!
