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."

Tami.....I am sure he will do great! But if for some reason anyone does not pass BS you are given the opportunity to visit them for 2 hours on Friday. From my experience it is worth the drive..........because they need to see you. It helps lift their spirits to help them move forward. And it was probably even better for my spirits that I got to see my recruit and see for myself that she was ok.

TamiD - Have Faith, he will pass! We were on our way to GL when we found out my sister did not pass her final PFA and would not graduate on Friday, 12/3. We were granted a 2 hour visitation with her on graduation day. Also, a special Thank You to all those new Sailors from DIV 019 my sister did BS with them on Monday night and she said they were an awesome division and everyone worked as a team even though she was not part of their division. Bravo Zulu to all the new Sailors!!!! FYI Abbe's call did not come until about 6 GL time.

His dad just got a letter today saying Lukes getting an honors award, so we get special seating..? Anyone know something about that? I'm trying to have faith that they aren't done with phone calls yet. I heard from a friend that she didn't get her call til 645pm.

TamiD - I am not sure yet if the Performance Divs went last night or not - let's wait to see if more calls come in. I hope we hear soon ((Hugs))!
Lukesgirl - ((Hugs)) - the entire Div passed so you should receive a call!!
