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."

So my husband is for sure a stick. He drew a picture haha. Apparently they are in one line and he is the furthest to the left. It will be great to see him at PIR. He said that this week they had the firing range and he was hoping to earn his sharp shooter ribbon. Can't wait to find out if he got it. And he found out that A school is 12 weeks and not 8 so kind of bummed about that. The RDC's sound pretty funny though. I guess if someone screaming in your face could be considered funny.

My son never mentioned the gas chamber. Guess he knew I would worry! So now that I read this - it's already done?
How does everyone know when their next scheduled call is? Is their SR letting them know - or is it posted somewhere?I can't wait for graduation to see my sweetie!

We got a call too! It was 16 minutes and 13 second of pure heaven - he said he got to talk unit his PO came in and told them they were F^&%# done - he wanted to try and call his girlfriend so I hope he got to make that call - testing on the shooting range tomorrow - got 2 more flags - athletics and for their racks - he is definately a stick (3rd stick) :)
He said a couple of the guys are missing out on making calls because they are cleaning. He said there are a couple of guys who still think they can do what they want - they'll learn - or be taught LOL
He also said he has gained about 10 pounds because when it's chow time he loads up his tray! I love this forum and we can share all this together - I hope we all get to meet - for those who don't know the Ramada does host a meet and greet thursday night! xoxo
