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."

Life After Ship 5- SEPS, how is your SR doing?
I thought a thread about after they get home might be helpful. We all can't wait to get them the heck out of there, but it's not over once they are home. They're dreams have been squashed, they gave up jobs/school/other opportunities to go to the Navy and then have to start over. It would be nice to support each other through this phase in addition to while they're in SEPS.
My son has been home a few weeks and though he's not depressed, he still struggling a bit. He got back too late for the fall semester of college but hopes to go in January. But who knows if that will happen - he doesn't have a lot of drive and direction right now. I am stressed because he can't find a job, has no school....nothing and sitting around 24/7 isn't good for him.
We are working with our Congressman to get his SEPs code changed. That will take a while, but we'll try.
So, anyone else want to share?

Yes, my heart goes out to them, too. The Navy needs to look at what's going on and make changes.

Hi, mine has been home since July, She is one of the numbers, they found a reason to let her go. She is working full time, and we are currently waiting on Meps to let our recruiters know what waivers are needed to re enlist. We are staying positive. The motivation to work out is gone though, which worries, me as she initially failed her final pfa, then went to rcu... this whole thing has been upsetting. They sepped her because they said she had ptsd after finding out her best friend died of a rare form of Ovarian Cancer, after being 95 percent in remission...crazy right. These girls grew up together.
