OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Paymaster, I am not sure how I do that so the answer would have to be a no. Who would I contact? Thanks for any direction you can provide.

Sharon....Did you or your son ask for feed back on his interviews and reviews to find out what he was lacking and an appointment?
-

Diego has received word that he did not receive an appointment to the Academy nor the NROTC. He is disappointed, but he still has his "Nuke" seat with his enlistment and he can re-apply, another option is finish "Nuke" school and then become an "Officer" so he is looking forward to starting his Naval career. We are so proud of him, he has stepped up and taken matters in his hands meeting with the recruiter today and learning of his options. He will do very well!

Kyle (Diego) did great on his interview!! It was with a retired Naval Commander, he asked plenty of questions and will file his report tonight! He suggested we contact the academy in regards to the medical portion. Diego has had two medical exams for enlistment, so he suggested we ask if they will accept that report. So, we wil see. We even watched a video and it brought tears to my eyes, how proud of them for making that choice and proud of the famillies that support each and every person there!!
