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."

Dear Sis 16sis, My daughter passed on a Wed. Had battle stations on Thursday night Friday morning. She then called and said, "You are coming this weekend right?" So we grabbed a flight and were there by 10 am on Saturday morning. She got to come with us for the day but then had to go back at night. I was just happy to see her. She did have to have a Liberty Buddy but because several others passed that week it was easy to find one. As a matter of fact we found several.

I can tell you that the rdcs do care about everyone in FIT. When you have been in for a while and it is getting close to your last attempt they often run with you. My daughter called it chasing the rabbit, one of them is in the lead and you chase! It worked for her and I am praying it will work for all of yours. The rdcs come in off duty and run to help. We were lucky enough to get to meet the rabbit that got my daughter through. He was standing guard duty at the gate when we went to see her. He probably thinks we are all a little off because the whole car full of people were telling him thank you and crying with joy!

Sis16sis you have to continue to help motivate her. She needs it, don't let her give up. She is going to have to fight through the pain. Remind her that she is extraordinary. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the extra she will have to give. She has the extra in her, dig deep and pull it out. She will make it. I'm praying for a full recovery of her knee. Sis you have to stay strong for her all the way. She will do it, she got this. Stay prayerful.
