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."

Why is the time going so fast?!?
My daughter isn't slated to go to bootcamp until July 2012 and it seems like these months are breezing by. She is my only child and we are more like best friends now that she is older. I'm a little OCD and want to know EVERYTHING before she goes so I know she is alright. LOL...she tells me "Mommy, I'm going to be fine!" I know she will and I am very proud of her. I just want the best for her and I know its going to be tough not being able to call her whenever I want and that's why I love to journal. I will definitely be looking through the blogs for 'comfort'. I'm glad this group is here!
