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."

My daughter's first letter came today stating she had sprained her ankle and on crutches.  She is being moved to a holding ship for a few weeks and then has to start basic over.  Does not know when she will graduate now.  Does anyone know about being placed in holding and how long it might last?

It will last as long as it takes for her ankle to be healed and she is cleared FFD - Fit for Full Duty. Sorry...don't know the length of time it takes to heal!

She has probably been moved to the RCU Division...Ship 04/Div 2341. Recruit Convalescent Unit. There are phases in the process that she will go through. The best source for support and info on here would be this group: http://www.navyformoms.com/group/ship04div2341 (clickable link)

Please join the group...the ladies on there are going through or have gone through this and are a great help. Oh and there is an address for Ship 04 Div 2341...they can gve you that on there too.

You may call the PAO to ask about her status. They may not give details but you can find out if she indeed has been moved there - Phone: Public Affairs Office 847-688-2405

Once she is FFD she will be moved back into a new TG -Training Group - and into a new Division. So you will not know a new PIR date until then.
