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."

Set back a week...what now? Help please...
We got a voice mail today from my son. All he said was that he was being set back a week. He didn't say why or when we'd hear from him again. It seemed to be a scripted call. I know he would have told us more if he was able. What now? How do we write to him...I'm assuming his ship/division will change. He would be starting his 3rd week today. what could have happened? If he was hurt would we have been told? If he can't call or write how do we find out what to do next?

I am sorry that your son was setback. It is called ASMO - Assignment Memorandum. It can be done for many reasons. It was a scripted call.
Please call or email PAO - Public Affairs Office 847-688-2405 E-mail : http://www.netc.navy.mil/nstc/cx/contactXC.asp?1-21r
They should be able to tell you what Ship /Div your son is in. Let me know either here or you can friend me and do this privately...I can help you with an address (generic Ship addresses are on the RTC Website). In the meantime...if you have mail and have sent it....it will be forwwrded to him...it may take a little longer rerouting through the system...but should get to him. Hang in there...{{HUGS}}

Thanks so much for the helpful information and support. We heard from our son and he is feeling better and anxious to get back to regular training...go figure...we do have his new contact information. His mail could take up to two weeks to get to him in his new unit but at least now we know he's better and where to write.
Thanks again.

I am so sorry this happened. I worry about something like this everyday. Almost makes me hope for no phone calls, only letters. Please hang in there. I am glad FTLW gave you a way to find something out.
