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 was going to but I'm staying at Springhill Suites because things are within walking distance and I'm not renting a car.

I got a phone call from my daughter on Saturday. She mentioned that they were not on Ship 14 anymore but rather on on different ship. Is it alright if I post what the new ship is?

Toni- i'm sorry! I just seen this comment!! They switched to SHIP 12. We also got a call last Sat. telling us they switched. How is your daughter?

Hi! I did get to talk to my daughter last Sat. She is doing great. She went in mentally prepared (and physically) and is passing her tests all along. I am so proud of her. I went on EBay and purchased the Challenge Coin for her. It is all about the USS Triton (Ship 12). I mailed it out to her yesterday. Can't wait to hear from her again.
How is your daughter doing in there? Is she staying positive? My daughter said the new barracks (ship) is not as good as Ship 14. Kind of a dump as she put it. But they only have 34 more days.

I'll have to look up that coin! Seen where others have gotten them too.
Yes, she's staying positive. She's pretty strong minded and driven. As your daughter is too I'm sure! I'm very proud of them!
She had to have 2 wisdom teeth pulled last week....what about yours? -
-

No..she went through all that when she had braces. My daughter is a little older than most of the girls and has already been on her on for about 15 months. She made the decision to enlist before she moved and it took that long for her to actually ship out.
Woot Woot! I received a letter from her in today's mail!! Wow. I certainly don't have to worry as much because her letter has answered a lot of my concerns. She has passed her swimming/float tests and her PT's. Weapon training next week. She said she is loving every minute of it. (And I would be able to tell if she were just blowing smoke.)

YAY!! It's SO exciting getting those letters! Sounds like she's doing great!
Where is she going to A school? -
