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."

Howdy and Guten Tag! New to the group. Daughter just went in on June 7 and has a PIR of 4 August. Navy lodge is booked! Whoo hoo. This is my one and only treasure of a girl who sounded like a young 'woman' on her phone call home. Like I told Anna, can't wait to see her in whites! BTW, I am a Navy retiree with 14 years of recruiting experience. Things have changed in my 9 years of retirement but if you can't find the answers here, check with her recruiter. Best wishes.

Officer Daughter passed her boards!!! She said it was brutal and even the XO commented that she was asked some really tough questions, but she passed!!!! Now Monday is the day for her simulator test and her check ride!!! Say a prayer for her!!
Catherine had a really great interview with the big boss and she impressed him when she told him she volunteered at his horse ranch on Sundays. He has several Clydesdale horses!! She loves being around those gentle giants and there are two new babies!!! Life is good for her right now!!!
