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."

What can a mother do? CONCERNED
Well 2 months ago my son informed me his hip is hurting again, last year in A school his hip popped out of joint,
when he went to the Dr, they informed him he has a small labrum tear, but that it would heal. Now almost 10mo
later hurting again now so was checked again an now has tears in both hips, one Dr recomends surgery another
says no to evasive, going in next week for a final consult, He is supposed to be deployed in dec or beginnig of jan.
he is depressed because he wants to go but afraid if not fixed he might hurt worse.
He is a corpsman and takes his job very seriously... I just want him to be ok. he now on deployment training again
to prepare just incase he goes. He also is suppose to come home for pre deployment leave but that is up in the air
again. I am very proud of him an wish i could be there. Any outside advise is welcomed. He is an only child so having a hard time as it is this just makes it more difficult sometimes.

Hi, I had labrum tears in my left hip. I know the pain to even stand. I live in Los Angeles, and went to Dr. Gearhart who gave me cortisone shots and the pain went away and it has to heal. No running! They can go in arthroscopic and clean out the area but the is after everything else fails.

I am praying for you and your son as we speak. My daughter was kept back for two months with a factored ankle, by praying and keeping the faith she is now well and is now on waiting for A school in Mississippi. As for the cortisone shots, I have been taken them, too menny is just as bad as not taking any. (no more than three in 12 months). I will keep praying for healing and strenght for you, your son and the doctors,
