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."

If she is interested in corpsman with the eventual desire to be a nurse, she can do Seaman to Admiral at E4, and the Navy will help pay for the education.
Best wishes

How does she go in as a "Seaman"
-
-
FYI....people do NOT have to be an E4 to go into the STA-21 program, that is a myth! They can try at E1, once they are at their first command (after all training)
-
-
One word! WOW.. You must be so proud.. How long has she been in? If I read correctly she is 20??
-
-
What is the "SELRES" section?
-
-
Selective reserve, she is not going reserves is she? I thought she was enlisted in active service...
-
-
No she is going enlisted active duty. I just looked there and saw a lot more 1 LOL thank you
-
-
FYI...that CREO is OLD! The classifiers have access to newer information than that. Sorry unless you have a CAC card and passwords that is the only way to access the new CREO list.

My daughter waited 6 months for the navy to offer her a hospital corpsman job. She just left for boot camp on 4/5/11. She went in as an E2 because of her college credits. If she is smart and scores high on her ASVAB they will offer her the nuke program. I have a good friend who is a nuke. Very hard program!!! Tell her to read everything she can on the jobs she wants and WAIT until they offer her the job she wants. My daughter was talking to the Navy last summer, was finally offered the Hospital Corpsman job after 2 trips to MEPS. She was in DEP for 6 months. My daughter had 3 different recruiters during her time before boot camp. So what if her recruiter gets upset! They have quotas to meet. Don't let her take something she doesn't want to do!!!

Thank you so very much.. Her trip to MEPS has been delayed because she has to complete her accutane before she is even able to go down there..Her recruiter honestly is not the best out there but at this point it is what it is. She is still moving forward and will study for the ASVAB.
I just had her read your post and it made her smile, she is determined

My son leaves for MEPS on the 19th and returns on the 20th. I will let you know how it goes. I am anxious to see if there are any jobs open or not and what he is offered. I will keep you posted.
