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."

Well found out today from the recruiter that the NAVY does not have any jobs for females this week :o( The recruiter is hoping my daughter gets to go to MEPS next week to select her rating. Our office location only has 1 slot open for a female this month to fulfill their quota and my daughter was given that slot :o) The saga continues...
