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."

Thank you all for the info.I was worried sick cause my son has never had anything like that done and to be away from home would make it even worse,Just wait till I get ahold of my husband,he's lucky he had his out cause I would yank them just for the heck of it.LOL But really thanks again you have put my mind at ease!

I did have him to the dentist and I asked about them and he didn't seem to worried but i wasn't thinking about the fact that they would just rip them out in BC just to be safe.I really don't agree with that.Thanks for the info

My son had his pulled out the 2nd week. He had only 2 in his mouth and they had never given him trouble. He didn't complain and kind of pumped about 2 days bed rest.

I had my son's wisdom teeth pulled before he left. I don't regret it one bit. I know I had to pay for it but I had my teeth pulled by a Navy Dentist 25 years ago and I had problems.

My son went to the dentist & oral surgeon before BC. They recommended he have them out, but if not bothering him, he could wait. He decided NOT to have this done....the first letter that we got from him he told us he and 40 others just had their wisdom teeth out the day he was writing the letter! ANYway::: Some good news, some of the recruits don't seem to mind because they get 1-2 days of rest, plus you aren't paying the dentist bill!!! Good luck. 11/237

My daughter haad no problem with her wisdom teeth in fact they weren't even in yet. ANd they pulled all four teeth . And she said she was sick from them pulling them. She didn't have to do too rigorous things but still had to participate with the others.
