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."

Well ya'll Zach's final PFA was today and NO call so that good news :-) he is set to PIR on Friday and has BS21 on Wednesday if you have a blue candle please light it for him on Wednesday night as he moves into the final countdown. He had some minor problems with shin splints but they have not kept him down so God has been in his corner allowing him to continue on with his dream of becoming a U.S. Navy sailor. @Donna how is your son doing hope all is well and his dr appt on the 20th goes great I will continue to keep him in my prayers.

Colten's Mom: I am so happy for you guys, how long will he have with the next Div? KC'smom was so right LOL they call my son the new guy too LOL and he's been there 15 weeks LOL and in with a push Div. I wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.

Thanks!!! He sounds good I am so proud of him.

that's great news!!!! believe me, when you look back at it, it won't seem so bad. My son PIR'd with a division he barely knew and they kept calling him the "new guy" (even though he had been there way longer than all of hem). Hope these last 2 weeks aren't to grueling for him. Thanks for keeping us posted!!! Go Colten!!
