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."

It really is tragic. Made me fear this that much more. Good friends have really been there for me thru this Navy idea and now the loss of my daughters good friend. Im keeping the faith and remaining as positive as I can. You all have surely made adjusting to having a millitary child alot easier and bearable. I hope we have everyone on fb now and welcome anyone else that wants to join. Thank goodness for the ability to connect and share this expierence.

So I am having a rough time today, and probably will for the next few days. Nikki turns 18 on the third and I can not even tell her Happy Birthday!!!!!! She is "legally" an adult, of course leaving for BC made her an adult in my eyes anyways. I of course mailed letters and cards but she will not get any of them until after her birthday. I am hoping she at least hears a happy birthday sometime in between the being shouted at.

Should I be worried that I haven't gotten "the box" yet? I know she didn't have a lot with her...but still

Did you get the form letter? If you did ask your SR if she sent it home. I think I read somewhere they can give their stuff to charity or something...not 100% positive though. Pretty sure what ever I read also said it is strongly "suggested" they send it home. Nikki had the clothes on her back, toothbrush, hairbrush, phone and one bag...it all came home.

I'll be sure to ask her.....but she didn't have much with her at all...
