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.

Good morning, FSDavenport! I'm glad I ran into this blog... My 17 year old daughter wants to join the Navy as soon as she graduates from HS. I went to the Recruiter's office and was told she must lose at least 15 pounds to qualify and must take the ASVAB (we knew that). Anyhow, this eases my fears that she won't make it. She is really disciplined, she's eating healthy and doing lots of exercise... I think she should start running, though! How did your wife manage to lose all that weight?
BTW, what is your rate?

@lauryburg. She will make it! Tell her all she needs to is watch her calorie intake. My wife and I are on a 1200 Calorie a day diet. We started off fast walking for a bout 3 miles 4x a week to shed off some weight before we started running so that when it's time to run, your not carrying all that extra. Trust me, at 204 lbs I was unable to run a half mile! So, what I recommend is to stick to 1200 calories a day and walk! Don't go too hard at first, you will over work yourself and get an injury. Baby steps. So,
1. 1200 calories/day
2. Fast pace walk about 2-3 miles 4x a week
ONLY WEIGH YOURSELF 1x a week. U will go crazy if you do everyday.
If u need some more advice don't hesitate to respond!
