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."

He'll know more once he knows how bad the injury is. He could go to the RCU and continue or he could go to SEPS and go home.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Carmen! Sending you a great big, comforting hug and wishing your son a speedy recovery and that he can graduate as planned. I more than know how hard this can be, as I now have a Navy Vet... and BC for me were days filled with anxious pride and lots of tears (only takes one Navy Mom to understand another Navy Mom).
Wishing you and your SR the best... Please let know how he's doing!
