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."

Same here. Got a phone call and sounded good except for a little pain from his wisdom teeth being pulled. Dont think we will be getting to many calls in this division since they dont seem to be pulling together.
My son said there is a couple kids that dont take direstion very well and they pay the price for them.
They didnt pass inspection so no mail for 2 days. Sure hope the problems start to get better for them!!!!

Snapple I havent heard of them getting sign on money for the navy in a looooong time. He will get a paycheck while in BC but that is not $5000.00 FOR SURE. The Navy has to many people joining to offer anything.
So not sure where that came from unless you got a really shady recruiter.
