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."

Could you help OS2 out? Our Internet, inter net, intern et, interment, internment, internee, in... is too slow
She is trying to get the veteran places (VA, FA, FAA, FAQ, FAX, FDA, VAT" id="sp-7" class="spell"">VFA, VHF, FEW, FWD, FAWN, FOWL, FAWNS, FEWER" id="sp-8" class="spell""&g..., American Legions...)
in the Norfolk area also the VA Hospital/Offices. She is getting out
and will need help getting all of the paper work done which is what the
veteran's places do so that nothing is missed by VA.
she is getting kicked out due to her weight and failing the physical
readiness tests well 3 in the past 4 years. She has a thyroid problem.
I just want to make sure that she can get the resources that she can

She will got through a check out procedure and they can help her. If not she needs to go to the Vetrens affaiirs office either on the base or there in Norfolk. If you can get us her name we can try and see if the FRG will help point her in the right direction.

tasstables I want to help your daughter but my knowledge is so limited. I know you want to help also--because you are MOM!!!! I would start by asking your daughter for the name and phone # to this sailors recruiter and I would think he could answer questions or direct you. I would also go online to look up the Veterans Administration in/or near where she will go when off of the ship. I know I am not helping much but I wanted to at least respond to your plea so you wouldnt feel alone. I just know in the past we have had issues and we have always called the recruiter for help.

Don't know if anyone has told you this yet. If not -- tell her she needs to talk to her "career counselor" and get to the "TAPS Bldg" on the base. Derrick told me she will have a career counselor available on the ship and on the base, and the TAPS Bldg is at/near Gate 3A. TAPS will assist with everything she needs. She will also go thru exit physical and dental exam, where ALL of her physical issues will be documented. Tell her not to worry, this is a process, and will probably take weeks to accomplish. She will have time and assistance to get through everything while she is separated.
Good luck Brenda --

I am doing what I hope any MOM on here would do for a sailor in need .. I know the girl has not told her family. And she has a lot of stess on her. I am passing any information on to her as I get it . I never know if someday my own daughter comes to me and says I am getting out .( if fact my first thought it was my daughter ). .. I and can write the MoM's and say thank you for helping get the information she needed to get out. And thank you from my Daughter (Tonya) she is the one who takes theses (kids even the ones older then her) and trys to help them out.. I dont even know if the mother of this girl is on this site. But if she is stand by your child she needs your love things happen .
