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."

Missing my Daughter
Its been exactly one week and 2 days since my daughter left for boot camp and i never thought i would miss her this much. Even though she had her own room she slept with me every nite. When her step-dad came along she eventually inched her way in the bed with us(smh) we would have to get out the bed and let her fall to sleep and then wake her up later to get in her bed. She said it was my presence she slept with at nite that made her feel safe and loved. I miss my baby so much.

My daughter is also in ship 11 div 134. She left on 3/6. Already got her box on Friday....held her clothes close to me...going through all of her things like they were gold. So excited to have her note on her form letter. She told me she was 100% ok. For my benefit probably. She is in good spirits. Sure all is well with your baby. Wonder if they are going through boot camp together. We will get through this and see them soon.

Im so glad to meet another Navy mom with a daughter in the same division. I tried to answer the trivia question on the Navy Facebook page because they will post a picture of the entire divisio on facebook but someone bet me to it and their son/daughter's division picture was posted and i still cried because they all looked so good.(smh) I cant wait for my first official letter because i know the letter she wrote on the back of the form letter was something to make me feel better and not worry(lol).

My daughter is in the same division. Please ask your daughters about sr brocks. My daughter is sassy so I think she said something wrong and she cant write home. I was told writing a letter is a reward. Im anxiously awaiting any news about her. Thanks in advance.
