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."

your sr. when they get a "chance in status" they call. entering fit, leaving fit, entering rcu, leaving, etc. Sr can choose to go to seps for most any reason from fit. it's a place where they need to come to terms with their future. if they think it's too hard, or too painful, they choose seps. my son had a friend who's toes hurt so he did. point being, send daily letters. encourage them. tell them it's almost over and fit will soon be a memory. point out they can be in seps for over a month, sitting around and waiting. might as well stay in fit get out of Chicago faster!

seps = seperation, i.e. being processed out & sent home

What is seps?

Another parent who had a son in fit, who has now been placed in SEPs messaged that her son said he thought my son had been moved to RCU on Wednesday. We have not heard anything from, should we get a call since he has been moved?

Thank you!

Hopefully she calls today, I need to keep on pushing,she will make it if she don't give.
Comment by Sis16sis on February 12, 2016 at 7:22pm
It's her injury. She feels nonproductive,serving no purpose and wants to come home. I am sending letters and cards everyday with encouraging words and thoughts
Comment by Lorraine on February 12, 2016 at 6:13pm
Sister is it because of her injury or her run time is not getting better? Continue to encourage her. I pray you get a call today.let's stay prayerful. I hope she hear your voice today telling her she can do it.
