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."

Congratulations to all the new Sailors!! Can't wait to see you all on Thursday/ Friday! I couldn't find a silver scarf, but found a flower with some bling so will wear that onmy purse. That should do the trick.
So sorry to hear that some of our SR's had trouble. Hoping that you will hear fromthem soon! It is SO nerve wracking when you don't know what's going on.
I feel for you, I really do. Went through all that with mydaughter just a few months ago. Praying for you all

She passed every PFA and test so maybe she does have watch. I just wanted to visit with her since I have't talked to her since March 9th.

FBTloader.. my daughter said everyone passed BS, as far as she knew, but 3 females had yet to pass their PFA. Maybe your wife had watch also? What is your last name again?

Safe travel for all! All of us veterans have enjoyed helping on here...isn't it nice that the sadness you all felt in the beginning of this journey has now been replaced with so much excitement? Quite a change, huh? So proud of all of your new sailors!
Enjoy PIR! It is spectacular!

fbtfreeloader: Hoping that you get a call tonight or tomorrow from your wife.
call-mom: Your son sounds like mine when he was in bc. Didn't want me to bring cell or anything to PIR (but you may want to take some comfy clothes for him to lounge around in while inside the hotel room!). After about 2 weeks at A School, he asked me to ship the phone...that's all he wanted. It's so nice when they are making more mature decisions like your son is!

Donna: Call the Public Affairs Office and see if they can have him call you...or tell you if he is on the graduation list.

You will have to call in the morning as they are closed now. Hope all is ok.
