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."

Hello. New here. Daughter leaving on 2/16.
Hello, all.
My daughter just enlisted last month. We were originally told that she would probably not be leaving for RTC until Summer. Last week, however, she found out that she will be leaving on 2/16. A bit of a shock, but I suppose sooner is better than later. I'm trying to navigate my way around this site and learn the ropes quickly, as it appears that this will be a great source of information/comfort in the upcoming months/years. If anyone has any advice to give, I'm all ears.
Thanks, and it will be nice to get to know you.

Thank you very much for the information. My daughter's job is AIRC/AIRR. She will be in Pensacola for a long time. Her job requires an additional two years of service, so she is signed up for 6 years plus 24 months AR. I just read your note to her and told her to look for a girl named Jessi. Hope they meet. :)
Harkness26, thank you for the links. I will definitely check them out.
