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."

My daughter did not pass her final PFA and is now in FIT. I thought she would have passed by now but now she is going through all these emotions regarding whether she made the right decision. How do I reassure her that it is okay and not to doubt herself?.

Prayers!!!!!  I hope you all get great news today!

Comment by lason on September 30, 2014 at 3:00pm

Thank you Lori!!!

Comment by LoriM on September 30, 2014 at 8:59am

lason that is awesome that he sounds remarkable!!!  I will be praying for him!

Comment by lason on September 30, 2014 at 12:32am

He sounded remarkable well.  He was a right gaurd tackler in hs and had to gain weight in order to hit harder.  Then,he had to loose a ton of weight to get past MEPS and he took a year to do it.  Now he just has to get the run down so that he can move on to battle stations then to A school.  He is having a second in grown removed since his arrival and he doesn't sound discouraged!!!

Comment by LoriM on September 29, 2014 at 10:46pm

Comment by lason on September 29, 2014 at 9:18pm

He called yesterday!!!!  I was so happy!!!  He has to have another ingrown toenail removed and will be on lite limited duty for two days.  He gets another shot at the run tomorrow!!!

Comment by LoriM on September 26, 2014 at 9:53am

Good morning ....Prayers for you all,, I hope good news comes to you all soon!

Comment by LoriM on September 25, 2014 at 10:02am

They should be given a call each time their status changes.  So you will know as soon as your SR passes.  Send letters,, pictures,, things that will keep spirits up and their strong will up and moving.   lason,,, when is his PIR?   I pray for all you Sr's! 

Comment by sammy1990 on September 25, 2014 at 8:27am
if you received that call, that was the "moving to fit" call. you will now receive a call when he passes and about every 2 weeks (with no guarantee since these can be taken away as punishment). write write write! he can write back with more info.
