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."

Hi everyone,

I am asking for prayers for my SR. He is struggling. I knew this would be a rough road for him to walk down. He has the physical side down and the test are not a problem but he is struggling with the little things the RTC get them on. His temper is one of them. He thought this was going to be easier. He assumed this because he was raised on a military base and was apart of ROTC. He just turn 18 4 weeks ago so he has a lot of growing up to do in some areas. Please pray that he can bend his spirit and submit to authority.

My son is in 104, and he is feeling much the same way. My prayers are with you and all of our boys !! they will be ok the power of positive think truly is powerful. They will come together and be an amazing group of young men. !! :-)

He's made it this far, I know his brothers there will help him keep going. My prayers are with you, and all the young men in our Div.

Btw: my husband felt the same way. He comes from a Navy family, and has gone through football camps all his life so he thought BT was going to be a breeze. He told me not to send any pics bc he can remember how I look, but on the 2nd day he was there he asked for one. He said he never thought it was be this stressful, but it's designed to bring the best out of them. Our letters are a week behind, so hopefully things are working in his favor this week.

Thank you all for the encouragement. He sounds so happy the first week and this week was a big difference. I know that if this is the right path he will make it through and if not the Lord will change his course. I just worry so much about him. I guess this is good for me as well. I have to learn to let go.
