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."

We just got our 1ST call from our SR. He past his PT with ease and thanked me for pushing / forcing him to work out and run all the time. He also said that after testing he should be an E2. He sounds like he is already turning into a SAILOR / MAN. I hope you all get that O-so important call, I feel so much more at ease.

We'll We got three more letters today!!!! He said DIV 85 got a DIVISION FLAG for all of them passing their first test & He is looking forward to the "confidence chamber" LOL ... Next up is Firearms training, Now that I know he will love. He also said PT isn't exhausting as he thought. ( probably because I made him run & do everything he was to do in BC for four months)... I hope you all get letters & good luck to all your SR's.
