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."

lol. I wasn't so calm. I went into full blown worried mother mode. Then turned into super excited mom because i was hearing his voice. He probably thought I was Cybil for the first five minutes of the call. : / Oh well. lol. I will be much worse in person once all my excitement and joy reaches it's boiling point at graduation. I so can't wait!

The big final test starts in just 8minutes for our SRs. I must say, I am just completely overwhelmed with emotions. Good luck to every single one of them, I know for sure I will not be able to take my mind off them until they are finished.

I know how you feel. I just prayed for my son and the entire division. As I sat there on my knees praying for their safety and protection, I realized that I was praying with a heart filled with anxiety, worry, and concern. It's then I heard a voice that said, "have faith." I paused... and at that moment I realized that the entire time my son has been in boot camp, faith has gotten me through. God has always been by his side. He didn't leave when my son arrived at boot camp, so why wouldn't he be there for him and the entire division for battle stations. I finished my prayer with confidence, lit the candle and went back to doing what I was doing. Keep your faith all you loved ones out there. All will be well.

I got the "I'm a sailor call!" YIPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEE! He said all in the division 932 passed so that is truly a good thing. If you didn't get a call, check with other family members, girlfriends, wives, etc. Sometimes they call different people for different reasons. Pat yourselves on the back, we made it through without going completely insane. Lol.
Now it's time to celebrate. -
