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."

Comment by diannep on August 25, 2012 at 9:26am: Try not to worry about the running....they will get several chances prior to PIR to pass it. Even if they don't make it before their division does BattleStations, they will still get to try (within the FIT group). Most make it before PIR. They would pass the run, then do BattleStations with another group and be at PIR.

If they don't make it before their PIR, they stay in FIT group until they do, go through BattleStations then with another group, and head straight to A School....no PIR.

So lots of prayers that they have wings on their feet to get it done!

Comment by ryt2me on August 25, 2012 at 9:22am: Tinker...we are in the same boat. ship 9 div 287. Our son has been sick and we got a letter stating he's failed the running portion, too. Scary feeling that they could be delayed from Graduating. We have been saying prayers everyday that he will pass with flying colors. I will pray for your SR , too.

Comment by Tinker on August 25, 2012 at 9:14am: I wonder how many others are in the same (boat) ship as me. I'm all ready to fly out on the 6th and received a letter from My SR yesterday saying he's anxious of failing the running test and could be asmo'ed. He improved his time on the second run so I'm keeping my fingers crossed and saying prayers for him and all the others. The good thing is he is determined to make it.

Comment by Page ship 09 div 287 9-7-12 on August 24, 2012 at 11:19pm: OH ok thank you so much! I had no idea. That takes some worry off of me!

Comment by ellen0502 on August 24, 2012 at 11:15pm: Page, your sailor will be required to wear Navy issued clothing at all times until he phases up in A School, this will take at least two weeks, so no civies before then.

There are also "regulations" on what civies they can wear once phased. Blue and white t-shirts must have something printed on them (no plain ones). The bottom of their pants cannot touch the ground etc.

Comment by Page ship 09 div 287 9-7-12 on August 24, 2012 at 11:08pm: As far as what to bring to airport for A school gets confusing because what are they suppose to wear for the whole time they are there? I know they will be getting free days whilst there so what are we suppose to do ship all their clothes at a later date? ugh

Comment by Page ship 09 div 287 9-7-12 on August 24, 2012 at 11:05pm: Yes Diannep I do believe that is correct. My son made Recruit Athletic Petty Officer. I don't believe that has changed so I hope he is still liked ;-/ LOL

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on August 24, 2012 at 9:09pm: He left 7/12. I will see look at that link thanks :)

Comment by Haup9 on August 24, 2012 at 8:33pm: sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) - Below is a link I used to find the 50 mile radius. We are in Muskego and are within it! Yay!!!! What day did your SR go to MEPS? I was just wondering if our Sr's went in on the same day. Mine was 7-10-12. 50 mile radius of RTC

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2012 at 1:16pm: Happyfeet is correct, rhonda. Although some may slip the new undies on during liberty, if you are giving them more than one pair, you will need to make the exchange at the airport if they are flying out....or.....when they return from liberty after moving over to GL A School base.
