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."

Thanks! she will be fine eventually, she has to get over the disappointment first. She doesn't understand since she only has pain while running, no other times but I tried to explain to her that running on it will make it much much worse.

Hi there. I am new to this site so am not sure what I'm doing at this point! My son is in Div 3, Ship 329 in Great Lakes. I read somewhere on here that we can meet him at the airport to see him off to A school and give him some clothes, his cell phone, etc. I can't find where I read that but can anyone verify this? I'm new to this whole Navy thing and have no idea what I'm doing, what's allowed, etc. My son isn't the greatest with giving information even though I have talked to him several times and gotten several letters, which makes me very happy. Any help anyone can offer would be great!!

Hi Dnewc5. You are correct you can bring your son his cell phone, etc and give that to him at the airport. I'm new to all this also but this site has been a life saver. I plan on bringing my daughter her cell phone & laptop for her take to A school. He probably won't know his travel info till a couple of days before PIR. Congrats on the letters we all look forward to mail day.
