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."

Happy Friday, ladies! The countdown is on, only 5 more Fridays to go!!
No letter yet. I don't necessarily expect one any time soon. My SR told me that he was spending his 30 minutes of free-time after taps doing push ups and sit ups with other shipmates to prepare for the next PFA. So, I suppose until that feat is accomplished I would rather have him preparing to pass that instead of writing to me. He has always been a man of little written words, anyway......he'll talk your ear off, but not so much when it comes to writing the words down :)
I am hoping for a call again next Saturday. He told me that is when they are going to the NEX for supplies again.
Hope all are well!
Laura

Hope to get a real letter soon! Our SR's are starting week 3. Whoop Whoop!
From some of my research on this site it looks like they are currently doing a hands-on environment, they will be learning first aid techniques, signaling with flags and the proper procedure to board and disembark a ship, and basic seamanship. They will do this training on a real ship situated in a large hangar. Their first PT (physical training) test is administered during week three; the areas tested are 1.5 mile run, push-ups and sit-ups. This is often called the PT0, because it is the starting point from which you will improve.
Eek! they are going to be very busy men and women this week! I hope everyone has a great weekend :)

I'm wondering, since they are in a push division and are being 'fast-tracked' through RTC, how far beyond the normal timeline that puts them?
