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."

Comment by texasmom Ship 11 Div 179 on March 10, 2011 at 12:04am: Good evening, I have joined this group because, my son called last night and said he was being moved to RCU. I only got 2 min to talk with him. He has injuried his knee and they are moving him I guess to Ship 6? for rehab for 30 days. Does anyone know if this is usually the protical? Does anyone know if the success rate is good for the rehab on knees for 30 days? He was told that if after the 30 days he can go back to BC where he is currently (Week4) and if all goes well he will graduate with that group. If this doesn't correct the problem he will be sent home. Has anyone experienced something like this?

Comment by lindalav on March 8, 2011 at 5:08pm: Glad they are taking good care of your sister, its nice to know that they are nothing if not thorough.. please tell her to keep her spirits up - 2 weeks is not so bad then will start therapy and rehab and be back on track!

Comment by TN Navy Mom (Stennis Nuke Mom) on March 8, 2011 at 5:06pm: proudsistah - wow, tough call to get BUT as much as we want them to improve, if her body has not healed enough for the cast to come off, she's way better off than risking another injury. Prayers that she continues to heal and surprises the docs with her progress!

Comment by cakemom on March 8, 2011 at 5:05pm: shucks, I hope she is holding up ok- we are all rooting for her!

Comment by Proudsistah on March 8, 2011 at 5:02pm: :( we received a call... She did not get her cast off on monday... The doctor told my sister 2 more weeks...

Comment by cakemom on March 8, 2011 at 4:55pm: I'm glad to hear she is doing better!

Comment by lindalav on March 8, 2011 at 4:13pm: proud sistah- glad to hear shes improving!!!

Comment by Proudsistah on February 28, 2011 at 5:18pm: Kathy- yeah, my sister is the only one with a cast there! And today is the big day for her!!! She has an appointment at VA hospital to remove her cast off!

Comment by Tobianne on February 28, 2011 at 2:55pm: Kathy you are in the right group here. This is RCU group. The ships have changed. It is ship for and was ship 6. Anytime a recruit is sick injured bad enough to need recovery time, this is where they come to. This ship also houses the FIT recruits also. Good luck to your son, he will have more of an idea in a few days once the doctors have spoken to him.

Comment by Proudsistah on February 25, 2011 at 9:43pm: Don't worry Kathy... You will definitely get a call from him tomorrow or sunday... He might be in ship 4. That's where my sister is staying. Hoping for your son's fast recovery!
