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."

Hi everyone!! I got 3 letters yesterday from my daughter. She said she passed personal & dynamic inspection with 0 hits (both last week), but the division as a whole didn't do so well. She also said they went through the gas chamber. She didn't like it, said it was hard & it burned.. didn't want to talk about it much. They are still marching on their own, & had a damage control class last week. She said a lot of people are sick, 2 girls got scabies, & the RDC's were sick also (when they get sick they call it "recrooties" lol Her & a few others haven't gotten sick in a while.
There are some pix on the Navy Recruit FB website, & one of the ladies on here thinks her daughter is in one of the pix, so please take a look & let us know if you see your SR.

I got the call too! My husband didn't say if they all passed, just that the division as a whole didn't do as well as the RDC's expected; not sure what that means. He's really sick again; he says the other SRs call him the walking plague lol! At least it's done and hopefully he can get some rest!
