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."

I am leaving on the 22nd of Feb.
For my Car: I am storing my car in my grandmas garage and putting my grandma on the title so we will have minimum coverage on it and so I will not lose my license/get a ticket for no insurance. (It also makes our insurance go down and incase I need to sell the car or anything- she is allowed to do it.)
Wisdom teeth: Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I *heard* they only pull them if it is time for them to come out.
I don't know about you but mine were ready when I was about 17. I just know it would suck to miss any days of bootcamp cause you might get setback! But, I also wouldn't spend the money to have them taken out.

My daughter leaves on 2/9. She wishes it was tomorrow. I'm excited for her, but am going to miss being able to talk to her everyday. She's older in her 20s and has been much more independent. She's also pretty happy to go to BC as an E3.
She went ahead and had her wisdom teeth removed earlier this month. She was concerned because someone had told her that they don't use general anesthetics.
