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 recruit has a fractured leg & is being moved to the medical treatment ship. We knew something was wrong but never expected a fracture.
I wish all of you the best. I'll be thinking of y'all October 28th & plan on looking at the pictures over on the FB page of your recruits' PIR.
Take care. -

Oh I am so sorry! Do you have any idea what happened or for how long he will be waylaid? Please keep us posted. You have been one the major 9/360 supporters and I will be thinking of you and your family. His next group, I'm sure, will be lucky to get you both.

I am so sorry CoastalKat... we will be praying for you both. Nothing harder than being away from your loved one when they are trying to recover from somthing like this. Keep us posted when he will PIR again... much in prayer for you and your family.

For those who asked how it happened, my recruit probably had pain in his legs each time he'd run. He'd ice it down & tell me he just had to "buck up". He didn't think it would be a problem. However, it was just aggravated by all the running, etc. at boot camp. He's going to miss all of the friends he's made in this division.
