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."

Christina, how long ago did you get your call?

Dannaproud: He called about 3 1/2 hours ago. It was 12:10 Central Time. Did you guys get calls yet?
Breezeme: Yes it was really great to hear his voice. He said its tough but he is doing ok and the Division is a good group. He's being strong and hanging in there. He says letters are real important for them. They just started getting mail Thursday but now they will get it every day. They can start writing back tomorrow. As you have probably already read, they were held for a week so that wasn't fun for them at all. But it's getting easier every day! -

All is well again. My SR called (Ship11/366) YAY!
A short call but a great call - lots of information.
P-hold for 6 days, waiting for females to populate the division.
As of yesterday (Friday) they are at Week 1 - Day 4 of Official Boot Camp.
They are a "Push DIV", which he said means, even though they will not go through all 8 weeks of BC (only going through to Week 7 - Day 3) they will still graduate on 9/27. He said it has something to do with the end of the Navy's fiscal(?) year.
Not getting his first paycheck until the 1st, because of the long P-hold.
Has only had PT once so -far, but he passed his initial swim test and his PFA - YAY.
He sounded GREAT! Very up and happy!
