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 received our call on Saturday PM. It is the only call since the first "I made it here". He said he really only has time to write on Sunday and that is only if he skips church! No letter this week so I guess he went to church. lol

We plan on being there but Shawn has not been able to pass the physical fitness yet... He told us to get refundable tickets!! I think he is just a worrier, I am sure he can do it.. I know 3 weeks is getting close!!

My son did mention that some guys/gals don't pass but he still has 3 wks to work on it. I will keep my fingers crossed for both of you. I can't wait until BC is over. I hate not being able to contact him.

Hi Ladies- Last I heard from my son; he had not passed the physical part either, but was only a few sit ups and push ups away. He sent back the questionaire and gave the last names of some of his friends that he has met there, but we are not supposed to use last names on this site. We are so excited; it feels like it's jsut around the corner. One of our SRs friends from childhood in Clovis, Ca is going to come as well. They haven't seen each other since last summer. Should be a good time for all.

Hi there;
Anybody heard from their SR lately? Ours is very quiet.... I keep trying to remember no news is good news :-)

@Shawn's mom- I received aletter last Monday without much infomration about what they are doing there. Our other son received a letter last Wednesday and said that there were just a lot of questions about what's going on in our lives and not much info about what our SR is doing. I am hoping and praying for a letter in the mailbox when i get home today.
