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 is Division 11, and in the letter I got on Thursday that was written on Sunday, he said he might be able to call Monday. I assumed that was last Monday, but here it is Saturday night and no call yet. Last I heard, in that same letter, they had completed h*ll week and earned the flag,pennant listed above. He is not a letter writer, so this is as much news as I can hope for at one time :) This waiting to hear is getting old and nerve wracking ! Ready for "A" school and texts and phone calls.

I am at that point as well anasazigypsy, the waiting is the worst! As long as I know they are proceeding as planned I am okay but I have heard NOTHING from my SR in over 3 weeks other than a paragraph letter 2 weeks ago. I can only hope the lack of communication means he is doing what needs to be done and we will be celebrating PIR together. With so much on the line it is just hard not to hear some sort of confirmation that things are on track every once in a while!

All of Div 11 passed battlestations and are now SAILORS except those still waiting to pass PFA. They will have another opportunity to do battlestations in a few days once they pass PFA. Congrats to all!
