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."

This is definitely Thankful Thursday-thankful for my letter and thankful to know that my SR is doing great. He is the Recruit Chief Petty Officer (RCPO) for this division! That's a simple way for your SRs to tell if they 'know' him. Basically the assitant/liazon for the RDCs! I am SO proud of him. I can't wait to see him at PIR leading the division with a shiny sword : ) Glad everyone got a letter and warmed hearts.

Lucy Here's the definition. Seems kinda early to me at 1 week in to have this. Normally this happens later on.
ASMO: ASsignment Memorandum Orders. Mostly issued in boot camp to set a recruit back in training due to poor performance.
Darn I wish he was with my son. Thanks for sharing

Ok finally home to read my letter. He told me his bunk mates name and two buddies he has made and they aren't any of your names:( I sure was wishing big! Anyway....he passed his swim test. He said they have their first academic test Tuesday so that would have been this past Tuesday. They are hearing that some REALLY important people are gonna be at graduation....not gonna tell him we've already heard that. lol. He said it was really rough at first and he wanted to come home but things are much better. He seems upbeat. Said they started out with 88 and some asmo'd (what is that?) and now they have 66.

Yaaay for all the ladies getting letters today!!! I just put my students on the bus and I'm tempted to rush home but I HAVE to get this room packed up for summer! I'll try to resist the urge. But you ladies receiving letters gives me something to look forward to this evening : ) Lucy-thanks for those kinds words and the prayer. That means SO much at a time like this. I'm about 99% sure in my decision.

I keep including SASE's with my work address on them, but no letter back yet. I'll check at home later today, just in case. He's probably spending what time he has writing to the gf.
