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."

Hello Everyone!! So glad to have this community for support. My son seems to be doing well, but I am struggling. He had his wisdom teeth removed a few weeks ago and during the procedure his jaw locked up. It locked up again later in the evening and he was transported to the hospital off base. He is recovering, however, I just have to keep reminding myself that he is in excellent hands and that if anything major happens I will be notified. It is hard thinking that he might be going through something stressful like that and I am not able to 'pamper' him. Thanks for listening!

I totally feel for you! I was pretty nervous about my son getting his teeth out. I have to be reminded of the whole "no news is good news" too! I'm counting down the days until this part can be over. I'm looking forward to be able to at least text and call when I want!

Oh, Mamma Pinkie Pie - I'm so sorry. Yes, he is in good hands....I know it worries you to know he was in a hospital and you couldn't be there. But they take good care of them! Hopefully he can call again soon and tell you that all is ok!
By the way, extraction of wisdom teeth is a very common procedure at Bootcamp!

Thanks for the support!! I feel the same way. It is strange not being able to text him during the day and seeing him on the weekend.
