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."

Nothing like taking it right down to the wire...Good luck to her! You are packed and ready to go, right? You better be, because she's going to make it!

Thanks for the encouraging words but I'm sad to say she didnt pass it. She is RCU/FIT now (I think) and I'm frantically searching for a site for this group and information about how long they stay there.
Here's hoping yours heals up quickly and she gets back to the task at hand! Many wishes for a speedy recovery!

Cindyloohoo: I posted the link to the FIT site for you on the main PIR page. That was the FIT site. Is she still in RCU? Because she has to be released from there before she can be in FIT. You can find the RCU group on here by just going to the "groups" tab up top and putting in RCU in the search bar. I just posted the FIT link for you because I thought that was where she was. Hoping she is up and "running" soon!

I left a message for you on the main PIR 6/28 page and posted info about RCU/FIT there for you.
Your SR will make it, and the staff at RCU/FIT will work very closely with her to help make it happen.
Thanks for the well-wishes for my SR...they are truly appreciated!

Kaleigh's Gramma and Cindyloohoo--one thing I noticed about our sailors is how they really help each other out. In our time with them on Friday and Saturday I was always seeing examples of the support and "I've got your back" attitude...be reassured that they aren't on their own--they have buddies standing by them, willing to walk through anything with them...
