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."

My daughter requested microwave popcorn and room service since we only have a few hours with her after graduation. Then we will be spending the day with her sitting in the airport. I'm so bummed. I don't know why they push them out within hours a recent SR graduate said there are still kids hanging at GL since she graduated boot and A school!

Do we know if anyone from this DIV made a call home letting someone know they did not pass PFA?

I haven't heard anything. If what my daughter said is true they had the PFT a few days ago. Wednesday I think. I would assume that someone would have heard by now if it was a no-go. So no worries Parrothdgal! Your SR will do fine or rather HAS done fine. I have that picture hanging up in my office at work and my husband has it as his background! I just wish they would start taking the random pictures again! It's been two weeks! How are you holding up?

I know! I cry at the drop of a hat! Its amazing how much you can miss something and miss the constant texts telling me where she is, what shes doing and that she'll be home soon! In less than a week we will be hugging our SR's and the hard part will be behind us/them. At least in A school we can have much more frequent phone contact!
