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."

My daughter is in Div 071 also. She said she is only one of two women in that Div so likely our kids have worked out together. She said lots of IT because they have a pretty challenging group of people.

I finally got a CALL! Hope you all get calls today....keep your phone nearby!!! He sounded great, said after getting shots it got a fever, but some of the others got sicker :( They are on day 1-4. His biggest complaint is still being sleep deprived, lights out not being until after 11:30. He wouldn't tell me his job, just that I would find out when i got his letter. I'm soooo relieved. He got to talk to my husband too and they chatted alot about military ranks...they have to learn ALOT! Thank God for keeping their spirits up and tough!

I also got a call a little while ago. Like Shelly's son, he is also sleep deprived. Hopefully they can get some tomorrow when they have holiday routine. He said he has passed the swim test and the 10 foot jump into the water test. They have also had some written tests, but they don't know the results yet. He said they haven't gotten much mail yet (it's probably sitting somewhere in a big pile!). Still sounds upbeat. Said it is snowing! I told him I have the air conditioning on because it is about 84 degrees outside!

lol air conditioning. It's -6 where I am, but I will be in Miami next weekend :) I'm glad others are getting calls! My son said the same about his written test and that his first PFA was cancelled in the middle of it for some reason so they will all have to retake it. Did your son tell you if he got assigned a job?
-

No, he didn't say whether he got assigned a job. He did say that the other group they train with did something that caused the first PFA to be cancelled. I told him that I was corresponding with you and where you are from. Maybe our boys will figure out who each other is! -6! Boy I sure don't miss that. I remember the winter of my senior year at SLU it got down to 40 below. The cars wouldn't start because the antifreeze was only good for 20 below!

Yes, I'm not sure what happened with the PFA, my son didn't really spill the beans...he just said he was in the middle of his run, on lap 9 when they cancelled it. I can't wait to get to some sunny warm weather for a little bit :)

Hey, y'all. My son is on this ship. Div 72. He will be on a sub. I got his box and form letter and yesterday what a great surprise. He got to call me. We spoke for 30 min. He is doing well but pretty homesick. We are from Houston, TX.
