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."

Ditto Denise's comment. Additionally, your daughter should have a number of ratings that she would find acceptable because we have more people interested joining than ever before. She may be interested in one rating but if all the other applicants had higher scores, she may not be offered that job. It may be late in the game but if your daughter hasn't join the NavyDep.com (clickable link) site and talked with Craig, she might want to do that asap - just to have his perspective.

Thank you Bunker, Denise and dclynn, she has signed up on Navy.dep- we have picked three optiions for her, at this point it's waiting and seeing. I hope one of the three is available to her. We have looked at the other branches, Only the Navy seems real interested in her. I don't know maybe because she's a girl? Got to talk to an old Salty dog- retired officer- he had nothing but positives for the Navy.. I just want her happy. God bless all our sons/daughters...

Back from the requiter- all went well. She has her paperwork to fill out and lose 4 percent bodyfat, and then we'll be good to go.... He seemed to like her. I am hoping this is smooth sailing.. ha ha good luck to all of you..
