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."

Sad Mother
My son was due to graduate on Jan 26, however he called me on last week to say that his graduation date has been pushed back until March 2, 2018, because he did not pass PRT. My son said that so many are sick with the Norovirus and it was difficult for him to complete the running because he has been sick. He sounded so hurt and disappointed. Has anyone experienced this issue with their FS?

JayBNavyMom - hang in there - they will continue to work with your son to get him to pass his running. They want him to pass as much as he wants to pass - this is just a little detour in the plan. Hopefully the extra time will give him a chance to recover and then he'll do great! Keep sending him lots of positive letters ;-D

He is my only child so I am relying on my faith in God to help him and I make it thru this minor setback. Thank you so much for those encouraging words. I am writing him more often now and will continue to do so until he graduates. :-)

Your son is in my prayers for strength and endurance as you are also , keep your spirits up, as it was mentioned they will work with him until he passes and it is a setback. Continue to pray with him when you get the chance over the phone, and let him know we all are routing for him to continue to keep focus and determined. All will come to pass and he will be fine!
