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."

Didn't get a call good or bad from my son. Supposed to leave tomorrow for GL. I don't know if I should go now. I don't know if he passed or if he even did BS 21 yet. He was supposed to do the PFA, since he failed the first time. Any advice...I am so upset.

Hang in there, I just got off the phone with Danny. The guys are still making calls. He sounds very tired. Said they are all excited and doing ok. We are leaving tomorrow night. So excited.

The problem is, I don't think he was even in that BS. I didn't talk to him directly, I got word from his father. I believe he was ASMO'd because he didn't pass the PFA. He was supposed to take it again, but I don't know when. He told his father there was a slight chance he would make it to graduation, but that he wasn't sure. Please pray for my son. The family is going crazy waiting to hear one way or another. Thanks lansmom and congratulations to you too.

Thanks for all the encouragement. I am so upset. At this point, I would be happy to know anything.

No, nothing. I don't know what to do. We are supposed to leave tonight, but if we go and he isn't graduating that's going to be a huge waste of time and money. Then, when he does graduate, we can't afford to do it all over again. I don't know what to do. I am so upset.
Thanks for your support momkoz. Everyone is so wonderful on here. -
