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."

On the upper right, you'll see a status box (see the bar with your name). The fourth item is "Settings" - please click on it and change your username to something more generic - do not use your real lastname as any part of the usename. Be sure to hit save after you are done. I ditto abbyblue's suggestion - disclose everything - he'll be able to get a job in the Navy, perhaps not as a seal but there are many fine jobs in the Navy. Good luck.

Thank you BunkerQB, I didn't even think about having my full name on there.
Thank you both for your adive. When he joined he didn't have this problem. Only since he's been training for the SEAL/PST. He did not make it in the draft and will be leaving on Monday with his other chosed job. If he isn't going in specifically as a SEAL trainee at this point will shin splints keep him from going to basic training? They go away usually in a couple of days. Again, he leaves Monday, should he still mention it or just rest, ice and hope they go away again in a couple of days? We don't want him to be discharged before he even goes.

Good news! He just had his last DEP meeting and mentioned it to his recruiter. She said the same thing his Mom said, ice them and rest and stay off his feet. They didn't think it would cause him any problems. So, he meets at the recruiting office on Sunday and he leaves Monday! So proud, but I sure am going to miss him!

Glad it's going to work out.
