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."

Start writing your daughter letters now. Keep them positive and up beat. That way as soon as you get her address you will be able to get them in the mail to her. I am sure your daughter is just thinking of all the unknowns that await her. She will be busy and that will her. In the next few days you will get the box of her belongs that she took with her. That may be a tough day for you. Just know that there are many of us that have gone through that. We will be here for you when that comes. Just as she will have days of ups and downs so will you. this is an adjustment for you both. You both are strong and will make it through this. Positivie thoughts will go a long way. Just know if you need us we are here to listen and we will encourage you as you encourage your daughter.
It is tough with the holidays coming just keep sending good thoughts and you will get that in return. Take care and put a smile on even when you may not feel like it.
