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."

Mine sounded so grown up! Got to talk to him for 26 minutes, yay! I'm so happy for all of them. He didn't tell me about their division being ranked first either, but he did say the only flag left to get is the Captain's Cup on Saturday. Hooyah!

COUNTDOWN: 8 DAYS SHIPMATES! We have sailors! Got my call (via text message from the Fiance, arranged in advance that she would get the call, since there had been NO calls at all up to this point!) She spoke with him an hour, then I spoke to her an hour! Seems my boy has been more than sick, but kept his lip shut until AFTER BS about having a fever, and several torn muscles and possible a broken rib. He was on his way in to let someone know when they hung up. A little rough for me, but as always, God shows up! A man walked in to the shop Where I work (Resort Hotel) dressed in complete Army Camouflage, He is SPEC-OP for over 20 years, gentle spirit, confident, My co-workers mentioned my son just completed Boot Camp and I was worried about his being sick. Everything this man said just melted my fears away. Can't wait to hug all of you! Next post I am going to list everyone who has been on this forum and start taking names!

Congrats...my son was coughing the ENTIRE time I spoke to him...I told him to go see Medical, he said he was being stubborn cuz he didnt want to get held back...that he had the cough for about 2-3 weeks...he was going to Medical now that he passed BS...my son was down for 4 days with cellulitis when they first started boot...he was afraid to let them know he wasnt feeling well...Hopefully all our Sailors are well soon!

My son finished BS yesterday and was on his way in to get some medical attention as well! Fever and sick for WEEKS! I was told its quite common! Not that that makes them feel better, but I hope they have a great plan to get them back to health so we will be sure to see them at PIR next week!
