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."

The friendships you forge at this website can be a blessing for your navy son or daughter. I've already had one Navy mom include my son for a family dinner when she went to visit her son. I can't thank her enough for doing that. I hope that I can return the favor soon.

Very nice to meet you all! My son was in Div 167. We found out at graduation that he would not ship out to Goose Creek the next day as scheduled. He has been moved to Ship 5, the THU pending medical clearance for proteinuria, of all things. He is very frustrated. It's like Navy purgatory!
I wonder how often this A school starts, and where he will fit back in. Waiting, waiting, waiting...

Wow! I can't believe that! I guess he had protein in his urine? I hope it's not a sign of diabetes.
My son is still at Great Lakes - he's ship 14, div 207. I think he should graduate around July 4 - ish (if all goes well... and no proteinuria...)
Hopefully, your son will get out of 'Navy purgatory' soon and be on to Goose Creek! I'll be thinking of you and your son! -
