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."

Brandons mom,
Yes we will keep him in our thoughts and prayers. I hope he feels better by Monday. Good Luck to your son.
My son told us he and other recruits in his division have also been sick. They have the ricky crud. I think they are all run down from being so busy and very little sleep.
Take care, gail -

Brandon's Mom: I share your worries. My son has had two visits to the dentist for extractions resulting in limited duty, 2 weeks on limited duty when they found an irregular heartbeat during the first extraction, an in grown toe type procedure plus the ricky crud. Holding my breath hoping he gets through this on schedule but I know he has to really be behind. A delay in graduation isn't the end of the world, I suppose. :-\ I will say a prayer for all of them and maybe cross my fingers and toes too!

Brandonsmom, consider it done. I know we want our SR's to be in the best form when they face BS21. I am from the PIR7/23 group, but I just peeped in to feel some of your groups excitement. So proud for ya'll, the waiting is almost over! Ya'll are in my prayers :) There is a group called Christian Chat you can join and those ladies are awesome with prayer request!

Hello Brandons Mom, my son called last Sunday and he was sick. He said that he knew that he was running a fever but that there was too much to be done to risk missing a thing. It just made my heart ache. We are praying for Brandon!!!
