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."

My son SR recruit just left in December but as I watch the video, it is very informative as to what the beginning feels like for them and I can only imagine the new experience of what they're going through but I was wondering what does the "X" on their hand means....?.....22 days left and still counting.....Hooray.......

Navymommary: When they say they get beat, it means that they have intense training...many push ups, sit up, etc. as punishment for individuals, but mostly as a group. It happens often in the first half. Sometimes, daily.
