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."

Hey Nurses,
We have a question about vaccinations on the forum thread, and we hope one of you nurses will chime in and let us know the true facts about the "Peanut Butter"shot, and why you can't get it in Navy boot camp if you're allergic to penicillin.
Here is the thread:

We would love to here it from a professional like yourselves....

I am a new mom to this site. I am an RN in Nashville Tn. I work at an adult care center and do prn work for the local maximum security prison. I told my son that if I can make it through nursing school with four children, he can make it through bootcamp. He left for great lakes 2 days ago and I miss him terribly

Dona- Hate the different coasts. My middle boy is in JAX Florida so not too bad on same coast. My new Navy boy doesn't know where he'll be yet.... Guess they all have to grow up...
