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."

She said she is sending her things and an address in the "Box" . So I guess ill wait by the mail !!! I am so proud of her doing what she wants to with letting no one influence her. But as a mother this is one of the hardest things by far !!!

Be sure to get her a pre-paid, activated phone card. They don't want to have to figure out how to activate when they get those precious opportunities to call home. Secondly have a discussion about who is coming to graduation. Remember she can put 4 names on as guests (no tickets). Children 12 and under don't need to be listed. Same goes for active duty military personnel. This info is in the Recruit Training Command web site (link in the survival guide).
The first you'll get will be a brief scripted "I am here" phone call. Next you'll get the box - look for her cell phone in his shoes. Next you'll get the form letter. This letter will contain WHEN your daughter's graduation will be.
