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've heard the same. My son is a brainiac!! I know it will be a challenge, but I'm sure he can do it! It's the physical part that he has struggled with. We need to encourage them to work together and make this happen! :-)

Anyone from 249 or 250 received calls about final PFAs today? The not knowing is driving me crazy!

No calls here, I did not know we got calls when they passed, that would be great! I'm hanging onto the "no news is good news", (which is very hard!), waiting for the "I'm a sailor call" and lifting up continual prayers that these recruits will ALL pass everything! This may be the hardest week, unsure. Can't remember the last time I was this excited about anything, so proud! Someone posted earlier that at this point they want everyone to pass and they will be given very opportunity to do so. Nice to be in touch with other moms going through that same thing, we are going to make it and so are they!

I'm right there with you!! Praying every hour of every day. lol! I've seen posts where moms have gotten calls from SRs who passed -- and posts from moms who got the "I'm being held back" call. So I just don't know! I do know that my stomach is in knots, waiting to hear something. I agree -- might be the hardest week since the week he left. That was pretty hard!
I'm holding on to the "no news is good news" idea too!
AHHHH!!!! lol!

I have to share a funny story with you because I know you will relate. The other day I was checking my voicemail and one was from son it said "Hi mom its your son, I just want to let you know I passed"...my heart skipped a beat and I thought "passed? passed what?!".. then he goes on to say "I passed my driving test" and I thought what? that's such old news! Why it was even still on my voicemail is beyond me, I think I just kept saving it I guess. Anyway it was pretty funny because I had gotten my hopes up ( I agree with AHHHH!!!) lol. Now I'm glad I saved it because it was so good to hear his voice even if it was a old message!
