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."

Whoa! I hope they are doing well. I just got a letter today from my SR dates 5/17 and she didn't mention the new RDC at all. She always calls them RDC 1,2, and 3. Keep us posted sailor_girl24. I hope their 'hell week' went by fast and they did good. Less than 3 weeks!!!!

It looks like they will be doing alot of things with different kinds of breathing devices in case of fires etc.. then they move onto learning about different kinds of fires and how to fight them. Their last PFT is either the end of this week or the beginning of next (6-1). Gas chamber comes after that. So much to learn in so little time. But our SR's will do it!

Sounds like a really busy week. I'm so proud of our SR for accomplishing all that they have, and all that they will.

5-3 day i think. We are getting close. This Friday is the last PFA also I think. So we all need to light a blue candel on Thursday night and be praying for them!
I can't find the last post here.. Calls are earned. No calls is always good news! No letters is the Navy's crap mail service! If anyone gets moved to another area for medical you will get a call...telling you NOTHING just that they have been moved! Everyone is going to get sick...all the close contact! If any of you have not seen this here is the break down of what is going on day by day.
