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 look like you are getting adjusted. You might want to join the New Moms Stop Here - excellent for a brand fresh to bootcamp new mom. There is also a Discussion Forum - New Moms Read First. Unfortunately, the way this site is organized is linear - rather than rational, so it's hard to get information. The search box will be your best friends. Search in Blog and more useful, search under Discussion Forum - Advice. There are a number of moms with no nonsense, straight up answers that would be right for an experienced mom.
Just let me know if there is anything you need.
