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."

dmarie-Thank you for all this information. I will go into that discussion LO in H class. I'm just so surprised. She has been working out for months now-I didn't think she would have any kind of physical condition issues. But, I guess everything happens for a reason. She seemed okay, but I could hear the disappointment in her voice. It just happened so soon. I will keep you posted.

Looking forward to hearing from you. From what I have heard, many of those in 16-10 are not physically ready for the incredible demands of OCS. They will keep them in H until they are ready to class up again and succeed. The most important thing at all times - H or not- is to help them keep up their morale. And yours. This is one of the hardest things I've ever been through as a mom and you should feel free to PM for support. The n4ms have helped me through. It's not whether, it's when! They will make it and so will you with enough determination.

Hi MM, My LO is in H as well and at times my LO has been at her wits end and it's so hard emotionally.
I'm fairly new as well and the women here are soooooo wonderful and helpful. I read the post everyday and cry when they cry and laugh when they laugh. I feel your pain more than you know. PM me so we can talk more openly. -

I'm glad to set up a conference call for anyone who is interested in talking through the women/H concerns. I would be glad to do this on Saturday some time, and if you PM me, I will send you a free dial-in number.

That would have been wonderful, unfortunately I will be out of town on Saturday. I also have a toll free number during the day if anyone wants to talk. PM me!

Help, I'm feeling computer illiterate. How do I PM everyone? Do I have to have a FB account?
-

No FB account necessary, how nice! To PM, click on the picture of the person you want to private message, below their picture click on "send a message". If you are not already "friends" with that person you may have to send a "friend request" done my clicking the button that comes up. You can send a short note with it. If it is not necessary to friend them (some have open access pages) just type a note and click "send".
