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."

She went in on April 28th, graduates June 25th and there's still nothing deposited into her bank account.
Really, really frustrated today because I keep "floating" the money to cover her bills and I don't have it to "float" anymore. -

My son and I talked about him putting half his pay in his account at home (so I could pay his bills) and the other half in his Navy account. I haven't seen any money coming into his account at home yet. But, really I'm not worried because I think with any job you might have that they hold your first paycheck and then your next check doesn't show up real quick. Also think about all the kids they have to process into auto deposit.

I was having what I thought was the same problem and then and then I got to talk to my son who told me they were not allowed to get their wallets or anything when they did their paperwork for the banking so he did not have his cancelled check for his bank at home and had to open a new account through the Navy.. Soooo I did not have access to his money to pay his bills... Hopefully there will be a bank we can go to to get this all straightened out while there for PIR.. Hope this is helpful to you..Linda
he did give me all his bankcard info so I could pay some of the bills online but if they ask you for a zip code it is the great lakes one.. -
