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."

Sent to Ship 5 Yesterday (6/5/14)
My wife was sent to Ship 5 yesterday. She'll go to legal in a few days to find out what her options are, but they plan on discharging her with ASMO 2311. She has scars on her arms and legs from an undocumented quad accident when she was younger that look like self-harm scars. She had to go for a psych eval at MEPS and was cleared, but a few days after processing they've told her that the eval was invalid.
They had her take a personality test and she passed just fine, but they're telling her that they won't sign off on it and if she appeals it just go straight back to them to deny again. She's feeling discouraged, particularly since there are people that have been there for 13 months, and she doesn't know if appealing it will change anything.
We're going to get affidavits from her mom and uncle who were there at the accident. I'm trying to find out if anybody has been through a similar case, where they were accused of self-injury, what they did to appeal, and what the outcome was. It would also be helpful to know how long it took (months or weeks) to reach a final result.

Update to my wife's situation: they have told her they will attempt to discharge her with RE-4 (Fraudulent). They say she has a personality disorder, not otherwise specified, based on her family history and the scars she has. She has elected to speak with an attorney and should see JAG tomorrow.

Wow, that's ridiculous, but I'm not even shocked. When I saw the RE-4's that were handed out when my son was in Ship 5, I learned that they give them out left and right.... it's almost the default for "we're not quite sure about you so we'll get you out." I hope JAG can help.

She decided that she doesn't want to try and fight it, and should be home in the next few weeks. She didn't want to do anything in the Navy other than Nuke, and apparently they'll kick you out of that program if anything seems remotely off before you get started. She'll come home, get a full-time job, and I'll be starting school in a few weeks. I'm planning on going Army ROTC and seeing if I can go active duty.
