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."

lgWhisperer, I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter! We went thru this last year with my son. Unfortunately once you get that dreaded call you do not hear from them again until they pass! So unfortunately if you didn't hear from her that means she didn't pass! And if she didn't pass you will not be on the list and you won't be allowed on the base!

Thanks - It's so hard not knowing and we're so far away. Ugh! Why did they tell me she would call today if they knew she wouldn't? It's like they pacify you by saying what you want to hear, then they hang up and you get to sit and wait and wonder. If we lived nearby it would be different, but we're halfway across the country from her.

At this point, she probably will not have PIR on Friday. See the info in Battle Stations-21 (BST). There is a waiting list for BST for those in FIT after they pass the PFA . Females must go through with an integrated division, so that affects when they can go through BST.

We had started to drive from Pa to Illinois and had to turn around. My oldest son flew from North Carolina to Great Lakes just in case our son passed and when he got there they told him no and he wasn't allowed access to base or to his brother!
