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."

Comment by The Momma on July 2, 2011 at 9:54am: J's Mom- thank you for your prayers. I am sure 225 has done the last PFA run, just no word yet...

My son has been teaching me patience his entire life. Lol!

Comment by waybigsmil on July 2, 2011 at 9:13am: navyrocks..... You and your son are in my prayers. Keep the faith...he is going to make it through this. I know it is hard to be uncertain how things are going to work out and not to be able to communicate with them. My son had been sick the entire time he was there. He hadn't taken any of the diagnostic physical fittness tests until the very end. He wrote me on Sunday the 26 and told me that he took one and failed the run. I wasn't sure if he would make battle stations. He did...and your son will too!

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on July 2, 2011 at 8:14am: Thankyou Friends for your support and prayers, was a sleepless night

but i am taking in what all you are saying, I could quick my self for not having pen and paper by the phone but since it was 730 pm and he never has called that late i didnt expect this since he was also doing pfa on the 29, thought all was well. I will be repeating the Verse below by joel's rackie,

John 14:1

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God,believe also in me.

Comment by TickledTink on July 2, 2011 at 5:10am: navyrocks- he said not to come because it is a scripted call, it is what they tell him to say. But there is still time for him to pass and PIR in time! It's totally up to you what you do though, but I'll tell you that if it were me, I'd rather go or be on my way and find out he for sure wasn't graduating and then just go back home then cancel my trip and have him end up graduating on time without me there. I don't know about your SR, but my husband has had a very hard time being away from me and the only thing getting him through is the though of seeing me at the end of it. *hugs*

Comment by joel's_rackie on July 2, 2011 at 2:14am: navyrocks: I'm praying for you! God is in control!!

Comment by Karleen ship 3 div 221 on July 2, 2011 at 1:05am: How cool, just got my ribbons on the same day my son became a sailor! Am I ever Proud!

Comment by Karleen ship 3 div 221 on July 1, 2011 at 11:11pm: What is the best way to find out if my son's buddies have mom's on this site since we can't mention names or anything like that? My son said they all call each other by their last name. So I know the last name of a few of them.

Comment by Karleen ship 3 div 221 on July 1, 2011 at 11:08pm: My son said two of his buddies didn't pass PT yet so didn't get to do battle station. he was pretty bummed his buddies didn't make it. But he did say through out the week the have a chance to make up and pass PT and do battle stations and still graduate with their division. So there is hope! They can do it. We all need to send positive vibes to those who are still trying!

Comment by seabee_wife92 on July 1, 2011 at 10:58pm: I have a question! Today when I talked to my husband he mentioned he was told I can go to A-school with him, but there is a form I have to fill out... he didn't tell me which form, and just to contact his recruiter, but the recruiter has no idea what form I need.. anyone know who I can contact to figure out what I need to do?

Comment by diannep on July 1, 2011 at 10:19pm: navyrocks: I understand....but later on, if you feel like you need some support, here is the link to the FIT PROGRAM. That is who is working with your son right now, I believe. They work with anyone who is having trouble with the PFA.

just click on this when you are ready and join:

chicinge: Good....sounds like the swim was his "challenge" and it is just getting through the rest of the process now. Good!

Praying for both of your SRs to get this final step done!

Goodnight, ladies! I'll check back in tomorrow!
