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."

Need some postive one liners to send to recruit.
In letters to my recruit, I like to include atleast one motivational quote or a simple personal inspiration from me for my daughter to reflect upon. I thought it would be neat if we all had a place to share and collect motivations and inspirations from other Navy Moms.
Here are a few I've sent lately:
"I sprinkle, love, positive energy and happy thoughts all over these pages when I tuck them inside the envelope."
"Each day that you awaken at boot camp, you are one step closer to your goal!"
"You are a role model to many back home who love and admire you."
I would love to hear what you all have sent to your own recruits.

I know this is an old post...but these are great.
Here is one I sent my daughter.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

I told our daughter "you don't have to be called a leader to be a leader" I always tell our kids "believe then achieve"
