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's a done deal
She left all of her technical devices like cell phone at home and wore clothing that she wouldn't mind giving away. The one thing I did send with her was a Navy Bible with her name on it and some key scriptures. I figured it would be some good reading material. She weighed in Wed. morning at 106 with the minimum for her height being 105. She was sworn in, so it was done. She had to wait in the airport until 11 pm before the flight took her away to boot camp where she is today. Her new life and adventure begins today. Anchors away baby, spread those wings and fly.
While here at home, it's snowing and 11 degrees, luckily above zero.

Yeah, I know she will do fine. She was well aware of what she was going into. She is definitely done sitting on her laurels, she will be a busy person while she is there and I'm busy with work and stuff so it will be fine. Just looking forward to the graduation now and time will go by faster than I want it to in regards to saving for the plane ticket and all.

I look forward to seeing you in Boot Camp for Moms and in your PIR group. You will find that these groups will be very helpful for you. You might find that at times you know more than your daughter does...lol!! You should be able to call her recruiter Monday or Tuesday to get her Division and Ship and a temporary address. Good Luck on your journey!!
