OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 27, 2011 at 11:56am: OK, I feel that I am a bit up to date with computers...but why is it when I'm on THIS site I keep hearing "bleeps" like someone is instant messaging me? I've looked and looked and I cannot find what's beeping me!! Can anyone help me? LOL

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 27, 2011 at 11:52am: WOO HOO! Letter on Sat (unexpected!)

From tuesday - "...end of 2nd day of Hell Week and I think it's going good so far. At 0530 my division and I took our 2nd PTS and I PASSED! With 50 sit-ups, 45 push-ups and a half a minute off my old run time XD. The same day we had our personnel inspection and weapons turnover inspection, I passed both with no hits and all but one person passed each inspection. Today we had a zone inspection, whic is when an inspector looks through our whole compartment and the inside of our racks for the placement of clothes in it and how percise it is. Everything has to be neatly folded and in the exact way our RDCs showed us. Anything else we have to wear is hanging on the hooks of our racks like sweats, peacoat, garment bag and other uniforms. Everyone here is getting sick including myself. A few have has pnemonea and others have a loud cough. I'm getting a scratchy throat and a slight cough. I don't want to go to sick hall because it could effect my training. Another big thing we did today was marksmanship simulator class. We all got to learn how to hold, reload and shoot a 9mm and a 12g shotgun. Tomorrow is when we do live fire and if you shoot good enough you'll get a ribbon. If you're really good, you'll get the ribbon with a bronze "S" for sharpshooter or a silver "E" for expert (experts also get a metal to wear). This week we're also getting individual and group pictures, military I.D., and our drill inspection. The firefighting and gas chamber won't be until next week. And we also have to take our 2nd of 3 tests the same day as drill. Well I have to sleep now. Will be getting up early tomorrow and fitted for my dress uniform. Wish me luck and I hope to hear more from you. P.S. and keep me posted on all the big news that's happening. Love - - - - - ."

Comment by diannep on August 27, 2011 at 10:33am: The group message worked, wlbradford!

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on August 27, 2011 at 10:24am: Wow...I bet the rest of them were really mad at that one!! My last letter was dated 8/21 so I just missed this event! They'll come together, I have faith in all of them!

Comment by shoprat on August 27, 2011 at 10:05am: Good morning everyone! I got a VERY short letter yesterday; I think they must be very busy! The letter was dated 8/22 and she said that the entire (female) division got their "worst beating" so far that day because of some female talking during chow...30 minutes of pain! Hopefully the girl learned something from that....20 days!!!
