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."

If Lady Gaga can pull off a meat dress, I guess crap could work, but how are you going to counteract the smell Rashell?

Got a phone call from my SR last night. Bad news, he failed his run by about a minute. He tries again Wednesday. They moved him to FIT. He sounded like he wanted to cry. I told him to do his best Wednesday cause I am ready to see him. If he passes then he can graduate Friday. So close to being finished, I know he is heartbroken.

I am so sorry this has happened to your SR. This is absolutely heartbreaking. This run was my biggest fear for my son. Did he mention if he can still do BS and then do the run again on Wednesday?
