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."

CTMom:This must be unnerving for you. Know that there is a group of mothers in solidarity with you. Still praying and really hope he gets to PIR on our date 3/22/13. I have not heard from my son since Feb 14. You know what they say no news is good news, (I guess). Take care.

You have been so great, thank you so much. I got a call today from him. It looks like he will be leaving RCU and joining 126 on Monday. He thinks he may have to pass the swim test first. Do you know if they did the run and swim test yet or not? He is Fit for Duty, but not Fit for Travel...so after PIR he will have to be on a hold before leaving for A school, so that's not good, but we're happy with the rest of the news we got today! :) Thanks again for your prayers and support. I hope to get to meet you in person.

I hope he can PIR with us on 3/22/13. That way you can see him sooner. Any thing is possible? As moms we have to endure a lot for our children. Glad to hear he is doing much better. :0) I haven't heard from my SR today, can only hope he is doing well too.

My son called last night! He said they found nothing in the CT scan they did, but he has failed every memory and balance test they have given him since the concussion. He had an appointment today to find out if they are going to medically discharge him, sep him, or keep him and change his PIR date. So hopefully I get a call or a letter to let me know what is going on. He sounded good, but is bored being in RCU.
Thank you to everybody that has given me advice on my situation.
Good luck to all the recruits!!

Sounds like he needs more time to recover from his injury. Hope you both recover soon. I heart and prayers are with both of you.

Best wishes to your SR. My son said in one of his letters that he will never complain about being bored again after being in RCU!!
