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."

It's wonderful that so many people heard from their SR either by phone or mail. Wishing I could heard from mine, but I know that my day will come when I get to be the one posting the happy contact news. Praying that all the SRs stay strong during these last few weeks!!

asmoed means setback. They are removed from their division and assigned a new PIR date until they accomplish what they need to, whether it be a test, fitness, discipline, sickness, or injury. Once this is accomplished, they are assigned to another division that is at the same point of training that they were when removed from their 1st division.

Got a letter today & so did grandparents. Says doing well on tests & they have 2 flags so far. Gained lots of muscle might not recognize him at PIR but I doubt it. No confirmation on BS21 yet but I agree it should be the 27th if I did the math right. Really wish for a call just want to hear his voice

We are trying our best to "pin down" BS21 dates, however it looks like it will be harder to do than normal. If your SR gives you a BS21 date for his/her div, please private msg me that info. Thank you!

Got a letter from my SR dated the 12th He said they have live fire on Moday (Ship 13 DIV 330) He said the next week and a half is hell week. he said he doesn't think any calls this week but maybe next. ONE CALL IS NOT ENOUGH !!!!! But he sounds so much better and is counting the days like we all are !
