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."

not at the very beginning in about 2 weeks and trust they give them 3 days of bed rest vicodin and at that point it is a blessing.. my son graduates tomorrow and it has been an experience for him.. one he would never trade in for anything.....

Do they get to call home if wisdom teeth are coming out?

the best thing you ever get is that first phone call....tomorrow my son graduates and could never be more prouder of the decision he made to join.....just remember moms write your son or daughter everyday and make it so much easier for them.. just like everyone one says the postman is equivalent to the ice cream we waited for as a child...keep an upbeat and i love you attitude and it will play a major role in your childs mental state of mind
