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."

Okay , I'm freaking out. Something happened but I don't have all of the details yet. My SR has been placed in healing for 6 WEEKS before he can finish his 2 1/2 weeks of training? What could have happened??? I'm so scared, what will he do now ? ? Will he stay there ? I already know that he will no longer be graduating with his original division now..so will his mail address and everything else change too ??? OMG :,((

Did you get a call? Sounds like if they stated healing it should get resolved, but just not quickly enough for him to stay on tract with his PIR Group. So sorry it must be really hard for you not knowing many details yet.

It is hard to believe that we are so close. If anyone here knows when the BS is, please email me the information. I want to make sure I send lots of prayers and positive thoughts their way.
