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."

Ummi-- Thank you for sharing! I was just going through my lists and was wondering about your SR. Since I couldn't recall the last time I saw you post I was wondering if she came home. I'll be praying for her to finish strong and well!!

Hello belovedbyHim. I appreciate you're asking. My SR has really made me see how she's matured in 4 months. She's doing well and is so focused on her PT, adjusting her running technique according to her coach's recommendations. She's already done 2 practice runs and said her legs burned a little afterward, but felt fairly strong. She's keeping her mind active with the workbooks I've been sending her and sharing them the other SRs. We're both keeping positive. Thanks for the prayers!

Thank you so much for that awesome response. I’m already doing everything you mentioned in the email. I am very proud of her. Just wish I could talk to her more often. I pray for her and think of her often. Thanks again.

No I haven’t heard anything yet since I last spoke with her on Jan 4th when she was first sent to RCU. Just Got a letter that she wrote the day after and she was not in good spirit, she wanted to come home. I sent her two letters before I got this one so I don’t know how she is feeling now.

Hi Marienavymom4kk! I'm in the same position with my son who has a stress fracture. Next week would have been his PIR. I haven't gotten another call since the don't come call last week. Don't know how he's doing, and it's really hard. I wonder if their shipmates can visit. How is your daughter doing?
