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."

Kayleigh and Gloria are gone from here now, but I think this applies to your friend, Yamilet Peterson. How do you know her? Has she written you something? There are many more moms that you could be friends with that are real people.
First off let me thank you for considering serving our country in the Navy. Personally, I think it is the best decision!! But I'm biased - I am a Navy vet, my husband is a Navy vet, and I have a son and a daughter serving. And my other daughter is putting in for the Navy officer program - BDCP.
I see you found the Moms of Daughters 2 group and I want to welcome you! We are a friendly group of moms who help, support and care for each other and our sailor girls!!! But we can also answer any questions you may have as you go through your journey of considering the Navy. Let us know if we can help you!!! And again - Welcome Aboard!!
