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."

My son is same division as yours. I pray your son recovers fast! Wisdom teeth removal is no joke. From what I hear they are in good hands medically.

Pulling wisdom teeth out in BC is very common. If it appears there is any possibility the wisdom teeth could be a problem in the future...out they come. There would be nothing worse than to be out at sea for weeks or months, have problems begin, and no one to take them out. Ouch!
Don't worry the Navy pulls hundreds of them. Your recruits will be given pain killers, have one or two days SIQ, and then a couple more LLD (light limited duty). They will be fine, and certainly not alone in their pain as there will be many others in their division in the "same boat".

thank you for all your responses. our son called us for about 15 secs on sat night and told us about his teeth. also mentioned he has to change jobs because he did not mention he had a concussion years ago. would anyone know why that would be? my impression was that his job was going to be more desk related?
