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."

Have you talked to a recruiter yet? That would be your first step. I don't have a daughter but if you search for the right group on here you'll get all the info and help you need. There's no reason to suppose she wouldn't make it through boot camp, thousands of young women before her have and are now valuable members of the Navy. The opportunities for women are now almost unlimited, the Navy having discovered that women are just as capable as men (LOL!).

We are going to a recruiter tomorrow, hopefully all will go well. Boot camp is what I am worried about, but I think she will be fine once she gets there. It's just scary thinking about her leaving and being out in the world without me lol, but I guess she has to grow up sometime!

She'll be fine! :) Boot camp, from what I hear, in the Navy is more about brains than brawn. Sure they still have the exercises and such, but it's also a lot of bookwork.
