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."

Often recruiters give conflicting information, part of the problem is - it's hard for them to know every rate and sometimes bad info comes as a result plus things do change at A school and they don't always inform the recruiters.
Your hubby gave her good information, when they get to school - it's all about performance. That can greatly determine her future. Our son was honor grad for his C school, there was only five students (C school classes are small and very focused) and five sets of orders were available, one in Hawaii and four sets for Norfolk...Nick is loving Hawaii! I think girls love to be closer to home but Nick wanted to see the world ...he was born in Japan during our Navy days.
You need to join our AECF group - the group is for ETs and FCs. Have they already told your daughter she will be an FC?? They used to tell them in their 3rd week of boot camp but this past year they have been waiting until the end of boot camp but they can tell them at any point during boot camp.
Expect her to be in GL about a year for school for both ET and FC students. And then she will move to another state for C school. She won't know that location until the end of A school.
Either way it's a great rate with lots of schooling on the front end, generally about 18 months of school but sometimes the schools are backed up and she will be on "hold" waiting for a class to begin. In the meantime she gets paid the same either way :-)
