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."

Sara wants to be a teacher, but knew she needed something to teach her self-control...Maybe she didn't need the self-control training so much (she is 18 & in the Navy). That took alot of courage. I support her in whatever she chooses to be in life. But I can't wait for PIR!!!!

YEAHHHHHHHHhh..got a letter from Aaron today. Said they have done Cas Chanbers (on 11/4) and did that he did well. Sadly...he said they didn't get phone calls last week because 14 guys failed PI FEP and some if not all that failed will not grad on 11/19. Will be set back perhaps up to TWO weeks..ewwwwww. He did pass though and said there was another chance for most...some no chance. How sad is that. Makes me cry just thinking about it. He is looking forward to Battlestations coming up..yeahhhhhhhhh! AMEN for a letter today...I can't stand not hearing from him. Anyone else get one? Any news similar or different to share?
