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 am sure everything will get straightened out. When he is done w the Navy, he can head up to North Dakota and learn to fix diesel truck - he'll make a bundle.

Some have been able to get it changed after shipping and the pay was adjusted from the time of enlistment. Be prepared to fax documentation if asked, although the request is typically made to the accredited vocational/technical school.

Thank you, that is encouraging. MEPS has the official transcript, had it all along but they didn't realize he had 108 credits, it was read wrong. They were looking at individual courses which broke the credits down. When my recruit asked about it multiple times he always got the same answer.... Meps has to change it. The recruiters didn't follow up according to MEPS. It has been an excercise in patience for sure!

Momof3 I have read what is on the contract is it but praying it was fixed at RTC. Where is your son going for A school and for what job? My son is staying at GL for GM.

He is actually going in E-PACT. He stays in Great Lakes after PIR for apprenticeship training for a few weeks then to his base or ship. He is already a trained marine diesel mechanic. He wants MM ultimately.
