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."

Letter # 2 came today!
Working a double shift today and I have my break in the middle, I checked my mail when I got home and THERE IT WAS!!! Letter #2!
Who ever I got the questionnaires from THANK YOU! She used one this time... She is impressed with the Navy lingo I have learned, says she doesn't even know what I am talking about. And I have the wonderful pleasure of still teaching her things... HA! Mom's rule ;) There were terms I have used that she doesn't know about, and I got them all here!
She is making friends, she says there are a set of twins who ended up in their division. She hates being IT'ed says girls can't be quiet and pick up after themselves, she says she took the baseline PFA, passed the run( Whew! was worried about that one... she NEVER ran to get ready ok a few times lol and when we timed it she came in way over the time), passed the push-up failed the situps???? Geez lol Not worried about those.
8-D I am giving her information that is helping and she thinks I am weird... LOL
One of her RDC's was/is an AO and said he is holding her to a higher standard. No pressure there right
OK some one explain CONUS and OCONUS Neither one of us have any idea what those mean can't get that from Navyspeak.
I sent my stack of letters right after I received her PIR letter and I am sure she has received them because I sent labels and she used them on my letter! LOL that was the letter that had the wide tooth comb must not have caused her problems she didn't say.
Feeling better and better now that the mail is catching up!

Thank you for clearing up Conus and Oconus. The answers were too funny! But I know that she is still in there and that she is going to make it. She didn't say how close she was to passing the situp... But one of the questions asked if she thought she would pass this, that, and the other she answered as long as they tell me what I need to know I'll pass it YAY!!!! she is fine and the little peeks I saw of her in the letter made me feel so much better.
I am glad she is making friends and my husband was telling me he only ran into one guy from basic while he was in.
Off to Work you ladies take care!
