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 never heard of such a thing!!! Didn't their pre-bootcamp screening cover all of this? Could this be b/c they are all getting sick from the weather change and maybe losing too much "bootcamp" time to pass effectively?

Has anyone heard anything more of our girls getting sent home?

Well, I am ecstatic!!! I recieved my first letter/contact from my baby girl!!! Oh I am so happy!!! This has been tough!
She said that her div is getting into all kinds of trouble and her ability to contact us has been very limited b/c of it.
Has anyone recieved the invites and all and for the graduation? She couldn't write much but said that more was coming. I need to find out as much as I can.
Teresagood for you for standing by her decision. My daughter said that it is much harder than she thought and she hates it. But wants to get through so that she will never experience it again. :) But if she headed home, I would be welcoming her with open arms. I miss her so much! Hope yours gets healed quickly!
