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."

Thank you!
My son said that test 3 is on Friday and it will be the last day for firefighting and damage control classes. If BS are on Friday wouldn't they miss Captains Cup on Sat.? Unless they have more then one day of it.
I'm still hoping for BS tonight so I can calm down a little and but my worries to rest at least until he goes to A school.

Vickie, yes, as far as we know 019 & 020 are buddies. My son is in your son's division also and I'm hoping that their BS's are tonight. ((Hugs)) I will keep him in my prayers. Unfortunately, we have had many conflicting dates for those divisions, so we just have to play it by ear now.
Leslie, did your recruit say when they were doing BS?

I believe my mentioned their brother Div was 20 in his letter

Vickie - You poor thing! It's so hard knowing your son is sick and not knowing the details. Remember - No news is good news. If things were really bad you would get a phone phone. I will be praying for both of you! Susan

My son wrote to me saying Battlestations are on Monday we will be flying on Tue. I hate to miss his call so I'm keeping my finger crossed that BS is tonight. Does anyone know DIV 020 buddy DIV?
I have been so worried with my son having pneumonia. When he wrote he said he became sicker and was placed on an IV for a while and was having trouble breathing. He said he was worried about passing physical fitness. I haven't gotten any phone calls yet. I have been so emotional and crying tons. This web site has been such a comfort. Thanks to all you mothers!
