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."

When I talked to my Josh I also asked about Melchor not passing and he knew him also and said they would get him though this on Monday, they are all behind him and will push him.

Cathy:
I will keep your son in my prayers. I would hate to see any of the boys not graduate. Im sure the guys in his div will help him to make it. My son Chris is 163. He is happy to be done. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and him. Joyce. In the begining Chris missed pushups by 1 to move up in rank and pay. He was very upset. He has since done the required amount but lost his chance for the rank and pay to change. -
