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."

Rover: I know this is terribly disappointing news for you all and him too. Think about ordering the PIR DVD because I think you would enjoy seeing the ceremony and I know he will. Here is the number to call to order it:
Photographic Services847-578-6205
I know you so miss him...hopefully you can see him in A School in GL once he gets there. Hang in there...he'll get there. Those ladies on FIT will help you through it. They are wonderful. They have been there, done that, and some are still getting support for their SRs there.
Please keep in touch and let all know how he does!
Safe travel, ladies!

Congratulation's to all of you!!! My son made a very short call saying he didn't make it due to pneumonia and bronchitis and that he's taking antibiotics and inhalers. He's now in ship 4 waiting for his BS schedule, i just hope they would give him enough time to rest. So sad, we were ready to leave vegas this morning but had to cancel our flight. I really miss my son, just can't stop crying:(.... Have a safe trip everyone!!!
