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."

Boot Camp P week
Call from our grandson, his graduation pushed back due to medical reason. He has no clue why and said he will call in a week or 2 when he knows more. Medical at MEPS was all ok.
Happened to anyone else?
thanks

They may have found something in his blood work or something else that they need additional time to check out. As long as he is with a division, then things are good and he is expected to have PIR even though it is not when he originally expected.
I left info for you on your My Page.

This happened to my son, he was in hospital for 3 days with a virus, so his PIR has been pushed back a week. He said there were a lot of guys ill with cough and other symptoms. He's supposed to call I'm told by the Public Affairs Officer to give update w/address (we never had an old one) - and to let us know he is medically OK.Tomorrow is just 2 wks since he left, but I've been writing letters to send once we know his address.

My son just called from BC and is being sent to medical because he injured his back. What will happen now? How will I here if he is ok or will I just have to wait and see what happens?? Today would have been his last PDAY.

no news is good news as they say. Have not heard from my grandson since last week Tuesday when he called " medical setback". He said he wasnt sick and they did not tell him why. So we just wait at this point.
