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."

My SR was in medical like 3 different times and he wouldn't tell me why. I knew one was his wisdom teeth and that was expected, but the others he won't tell me. I hate that. I am so paranoid of him getting hurt, he is a little on the accident prone side, lol. Ugh...the stress is killing me. I need a big ole chocolate cake!!!

Well we will all keep our fingers, toes, legs, and eyes crossed for a speedy recovery. At least they aren't sending him home. That is a good thing. He will heal up and sail on through and get to his PIR. It will all work out ok. Just not as quickly as we had hoped. Keep us posted, he was in my SR's division.

Recruiter says they will probably have him "help out" no marching ect. we were driving out (19 hours) now we will have to do it in the snow. Doesn't sound like we could visit, still bootcamp.

Tried to ask him if they were gonna let him call me later, he said he didn't know. recruiter trying to find out more for me...impatiently waiting....
