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."

"Mess cranking" is something that most junior sailors participate in. It is not an "official" form of punishment. When I was on the ship, my chief did have a guy that pis*** him off, and the guy got sent to mess cranking. Timeframe of being assigned to FSA duty(mess cranking) can vary. I did two tours of 3 months each when I was on active duty.

Just to add to mrsmoose, in order to have the 20% applied to the FRG, you need to have a flyer. Please feel free to e-mail me at ombddg74@hotmail.com if you have not received one.

I did hear from my husband this morning. I also heard from him on Friday. O.C., I tried to send you a message, but it said I need to be added as your friend before I can do that.
