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."

Navy Mom - 1 Year Later! 2012
March 6, 2012
Well, it's been more than a year since Ashley joined the Navy. As a new Navy Mom in Feb 2011, I thought I was not going to get through boot camp, however with a little help from my friends on Navy Moms - Division 922, I got through it! At that time I was not really sure about my daughter joining the Military; however a year later I see that it was a good thing, a very good thing! She received additional training in San Antonio Corpsman and now she is settled at the Naval Medical Center and is really progressing in her life and career. I am so proud of her and I am excited to see what lies ahead for her.
PS And I am very proud that I am a Navy Mom! :)

Thank you for the update. It sounds like your daughter is exactly where she wants to be. It's always great to hear from members with sailors who graduated in the past - even if the sailor is having a hard time. After all, life has ups and downs. Having a rough patch is part of having a job.
Would you consider coming back more often to welcome new members, write an encouraging words or two? Some of us have been here for a while and are preparing to transition to a supportive role. We need new "veteran" members to step in. I know it will make a difference.
Regards, BQB.
