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 wonder if they received mail today? The letters that came in on Saturday? This would be there first mail day!

My SR mentioned in his call that tomorrow they will have the physical test and swim test. I pray that all our SR's do well tomorrow. I think the hardest part is waiting to see how they do and not being able to celebrate and support them.

We are driving down from Wisconsin on Thursday night. My son is an officer in the Army and he and his wife will be joining my husband and I for the ceremony. Did you get two form letters from your son? One with the incorrect PIR date and another with the correct date? We did. On his first letter he put everyone's name down correctly (I was really proud). On the second letter he put down "mom and dad". I hope the entrance list is based off the first letter!
