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."

Linda I see your daughter is a K-9 unit, Stephen has talked about wanting to do this. I hope they get a food allowance, I can't see that the food would come out of their own pockets. Janie

Janie, since when do our Navy guys and gals having to pay for their food? I have a boy in the Navy for the last 7 years and he has never said anything to me about having to ever pay for his food.

Thanks Cheryl. I just talked to Steve. He said after day 1, that it is much more relaxed than boot camp. I replied I doubt for long. He has 2 room mates and said the food was good, but I was surprised to find out he has to pay for it. Janie

Karyl, pray alot and take it one day at a time. It's hard, but remembering that this is what our kids want and how proud we are of them helps too. Plus, we turn to each other on this website for support and encouragement. Don't forget we are all here. Hang in there!
