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."

I asked my sons recruiter and he said that I should write anyway and if he does get extra assignments it'll be good for him and he'll come out stronger on the other side LOL!!!

So now that I've recieved my phone call (this past weekend) I'm re-stalking the mailbox waiting for that first letter! Geezzz It's pretty hard sitting here & not knowing anything! I have 2 other children to keep me busy (and trust me they do) but there is still that void of one not being there!

Karen, my daughter absolutely loves it! Her call was upbeat (minus the first few secs. of crying) & so was her letter! She said she thinks its easier than what she expected! She did great on her initial physical test, did 4 extra each of the push-ups & sit-ups than required & finished 7th in the run! Of course I had no doubt she would do well there, she is a runner! One of those die hard runners, you know, get up on the weekends at 5am to go run 5-10 miles for fun!? I personally don't think running is fun, especially in the winters of Ohio, but hey, more power to her! Throughout her letter she used Navy terms all of which she translated into "civilian" terms except for one, so now I get to go figure that one out! LOL She said she was called into the fishbowl (office) where the RDC told her that she (female RDC) expects her to get a "Bravo Zulu"? hahaha I have no clue what that means, but I sure hope it's something good! :) My favorite part of the letter... "turns out you were right" aaaaaahhhhhh that's what I was waiting to hear! LOL
Did you receive your letter today? She informed me that they received mail on Sunday, or at least her Div did. I hope all is well with your SR!
