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."

The blood and urine tests during the MEPS physical check for alcohol, illegal substances, HIV/AIDS, and pregnancy. I don't think they check for other things. The health questionnaire and medical history review might lead them to check other things as well.

Oh my goodness! How terribly sad for this recruit's family. My sons just got there on the 12th, not something a mom wants to see. So very sad for the family. You are all in my prayers along with all the recruits there!

This is from more than a year ago. Christopher Walker's death on January 11, 2012 is believed to have been the result of undiagnosed diabetes. Elizabeth Richardson's death on February 10, 2012 was related to pneumonia. It is unusual for recruits to die while in BC. Prior to that, the last death was in the spring of 2008.

I'm sure they appreciate the thoughts and prayers, but please check the date of the original post, January 12, 2012.
