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."

I worry about all the tests :( she wasn't a good student until high school, she's a skinny bean pole and hates to excersize (like mommy) but she has one thing going for her... HER Attitude, that she will show us and will do good! She is the last person anyone that has ever known her would expect for her to join an armed forces LOL she's showing them now!
Sams mom.... You are very lucky to get so much mail!!! :) I'm sorry you are missing his birthday but I hope you all go out and celebrate in honor of him! :)
Reen.... I walked every day this week on the treadmill, didn't loose a pound, I think it's all going to muscle and making me weigh more! LOL I am going to try a push up... try.... hahaha

My son said that they had a writing and studying test today and that he hoped to know how he did when he wrote again. Which I am guessing will be Sunday! You go txsailorsam, letter #6!!!!! You are also in the group that has gotten several phone calls too! I am so jealous!!!!!!! jp I am glad you are hearing from him so often. I am not sure how soon we will know if they don't pass something! I am just going to keep praying that he passes!

hey tiff's mom... I've been here but not much new to say except I got letter #6 today. I feel so blessed to hear from him so frequently when so many have not heard much. Sam passed his pt type test "with a wide margin" he said. I hope no news means he also passed his written test, too. Tomorrow is his birthday. The first one I won't spend with him in 25 years. Praises that I got to have the first 24 with him.

You are right Jane, Tiffie wrote that she had a test today, I forgot! Hmmm She did say in her letter she didn't pass the Running test and crunches test, and I didn't get a call then, but maybe that is different??

I go there sometimes too and well, I feel like I'm intruding, so watch for about a minute and then leave! LOL I thought everyone would be happy after so many got letters this week... maybe, nooooo.... but, well.... maybe they all have lives outside of Navy Moms? I can't imagine!!! Whatever! LOL

t:): I don't think you need to be worried about the missed call. It could have just been the recruiter telling you that your recruit is doing fine. I think they would have left a message if they needed to talk to you right away. Any info about your recruit if there is a problem will come directly from GL. So dont worry!

What a quiet group! LOL

To the mom of Sam's friend... hello. He likes your messages. I just got letter #6. Today he sounds great.
