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."

Update on my recruit
Update on my girl. They made decision for her today to separate as both feet are now impacted. They are giving her an RE code and told her the US Navy needs recruits like her. They asked her to come back in 6 months. She told me she will jump through the waiver hoops and give it a go in 6 months. Thank you all for your kind words and congratulations to all those new sailors

Oh I am so sorry to hear this. The good news is she should get a RE code that allows her to come back. She will have to get waivers, but it can be done! bkm4 (who is also part of this group) has gone through a similar situation with her daughter and she is back in BC and looking forward to graduation next week. I believe she went back after about 8 months - it can be done!!! Hang in there - get your daughter home, get her healed and then she can get back on track. Tell her all us Navy Mom's are proud of her and we know she can do this! We are here for you ;-D

Oh Chihuahualove3, I just finished up a reply post on your other discussion before I saw this one!!! I'm sorry but this is not the end of the road for her since they are giving her an RE code. I do hope she heals completely and can continue her dreams. Just as I said on my other post, please tell her I'm praying for her and am so proud of her. GO NAVY!!!!
