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."

Hello everyone! My SR called this morning. She sounded good. She said she also got to write us a letter yesterday, yay! She had to walk somewhere to make the call because her card wouldn't work. Not sure if the minutes were up. Will send her another one today. Her bunkmate is from New York and they have become friends, which is great! Anyone have a daughter from New York?
Sounds like her division took their swim tests. She and a few others had to take the test that is a level up from the basic swim test due to their rating?? She didn't think she had passed because she was told to get out of the water right before she rounded the last buoy. They told her she would be able to take it again in A school. She wasn't upset about it, just not sure about it. She said the food was good and she was eating more there than at home, not used to eating 3 meals a day. Worried about gaining weight! Their division has had one IT session, lasted 45 minutes. She actually felt good afterwards, haha. Sounds like the division is doing ok!

i'm thinking IT doesn't stand for information technology?

I believe it stands for Intensive Training, it is the workout they do when they get into trouble...

I am so glad to hear this, we missed the call on Saturday, My SR only memorized his Dad's phone number before he left, and so he didn't call me when he couldn't get though to his Dad. There is a letter with Shouty capitals with my phone number, so we don't miss any more calls! Just getting any info right now makes me feel so much better!
