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."

Has anyone heard in letters when the last PFA is ?

No I haven't but on the site with the day by day it is showing week 6 day 1 for final PFA so I guess that will be tomorrow.

That's what I was thinking too. May the force be with them !

I know especially now that I know my son is still having trouble with the run and had or has shine splints!!! 

Heat before the run and ice it after. If he pushes through the pain it should lessen in the run. Anti inflammatory rx's help, and sometimes they will tape or use a support. I am sure they are treating it. My daughter swears by 3 bananas a day to get you through a run. Non of them want to come home at this late part of the game, so they are really motivated to get it done.

Has anyone heard any news on BS

Nothing yet.

I got an email telling me when div is due to do BS21.

Well no call so far.  In this case no news is good news for me, I hope this means he did pass the run. Hopefully no call until Tuesday!!! Maybe now I can get some sleep..

Yes I think no news is good news today :)

Anyone else have sailors going to Groton, Connecticut for "A" school?

WHOOT ! on the Captains Cup win :) Yeah for 119
