OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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."

Looking forward to getting to know those who are in my son's division. He is 19 and will be a NUKE. I am so proud of him.

Got a letter from Josh today. He's glad processing is over and they are actually doing something and wants any news of the outside world (he's into sports). Says he will write after lights out to fill in details.

I got a letter. He sounds upbeat, said life there sucks. He has a rash on his hand that burns. Loves the food. Described dinner. Said it was a big division and they have lost a few. Lots of P days. Day 1-1 was Tues Dec 27. Was looking forward to 7 hours of swimming on 1-2.
A very happy and proud mom here. OK I'm ready for next weeks letter.

Yay... got two letters today... eyes blurry from tears, had to read them twice! Working and pushing himself harder than anything he's ever done. Says as the days go on, they're all working more together. Loves hearing from home and loved ones.

I am glad he is keeping you updated with the weeks and days...I asked in my letter last night to my SR, please let me know the week and day, because I am lost and don't know which week your on....haha

I sent a fill in the blank letter this morning asking the same thing. I will not be a be able to keep up with it on my own.

Great idea on keeping up with their schedule. Alex's Jan 1st letter said they'd completed swimming and had their first PFA. So, looking at the weekly schedule, where does that mean they are now? Ending the 3rd week or just the 2nd? I've tried counting weeks both forward and backwards from PIR but they don't seem to mesh. Or I'm an idiot.

'm not sure. I think they don't count weekends and we are not sure if they counted Monday as a holiday or a normal day. I am hoping I will be able to figure it out with his next letter.

Is the PFA the run and the push ups and such? My SR was worried about the run before he left...his letter did not say anything about it.....but did say they completed the swimming and that it was easy...
-

It is. My SR said he did not pass the run part due to shin splints. I expected that because he would not train for the run. I don't think he will have any trouble passing it by the time they do the final one.
