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."

I am not even sure what to say as I don't know a lot about legal incidents, but I am soo sorry this has happened. It makes our momma heart aches when we think that something as innocent as ibuprofen could cause problems. I don't know what the rules are at RTC, but I know in the public schools that my children were in, the girls were not even allowed to carry Tylenol or Ibuprofen for back aches. They had to go to the nurse to request it. Thinking you are doing something out of compassion and not even thinking about the negative ramifications is a judgement call that is partially due to our children's frontal lobes not being fully developed. It is hard to tell what the outcome might be, but hopefully you will hear more soon and I am sure you will be praying for him as well.

Prayers for these two recruits, if they are on the path our Lord has chosen for them I know it will just be a lesson to build them into better Sailors. I will hold them both up in Prayer!

Hi Stephanie! This is disheartening to know that your son was just having compassion for his fellow recruit and it has caused this situation. I'm praying that your Sailor as well as the other will not be penalized. It sounds like he is on hold in THU. If you don't mind I'll PM you and share what I've learned about THU. Stay positive!
