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."

Meeting With Recruiters
So my daughter is now only allowed to be called "Future Sailor" by her recruiter as she is an official Depper. She gets to join our local YMCA so that she can do PT and she has to go to DEP meetings twice a month and contact her recruiter every Monday from now on. I think that this stuff will make her time go by faster. We found her a prom dress and the fact that i am working now will maybe not make getting the rest of her senior year stuff taken care of, but I will be able to do more for her biirthday. Husband says that now we are military parents, we definitely have to do 4th of July up big time. I want to make her last semester of high school and her last free summer very memorable. She is not scared of what her future holds, she is excited and she has decided she wants to be career Navy which makes me even happier, she will never have to worry about having a job! My girl makes me so proud and I am beginning to think that her leaving, although it will be emotional for me, is a HUGE step forward for my girl and her independent new life and I can't be sad for that.

Hi! Im an emotional mom too and just wanted to say Congrats to your daughter for making such a HUGE decision to join the Navy. Our son did the same thing and I can honestly say I have never seen him 100% committed to a decision. He just turned 18 but enlisted back in December. He has completed all of his initial MEPS tests, etc., has started his DEP meetings, not quite into the routine of working out...lol. He too will graduate near the end of May but leaves for BC 7/7. So we have Prom( not sure if he'll go) Graduation then a Going away party. WOW. lots to prepare for! Im still trying to figure out all of the groups and forums on here but so far I am very pleased with all of the information and the instant camardarie. We have military service on both sides of our family so now we can say we are OFFICIALLY a FULL FLEDGED Military family. Son #2 is considering military service as well but he is just 16. Oh, btw, my name is Christy and I hope to keep in touch with you. Blessings and keep on making those memories with your daughter!
