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."

How funny!!! I heard from Billy yesterday also. He had his mouth full of Dr Pepper and skittles and nerds. LOL I loved talking to him and we are all getting excited to go up there. Billy didn't even mention a shower by himself, but he has 3 brothers that live at home also. I am so glad you heard from your son.. Thank you so much for sharing with me I am so excited for the kids that are getting ready to graduate. I hope to talk to you soon. Donna

His first letter was short his second letter was a little longer. And I was really suprised how excited we all got when his letter came. Everyday I go out and check the mail and if one of his brothers get the mail before me I ask them like crazy. LOL I guess that is the Mom not wanting to let go coming out in me. Haha.

We didn't get a letter today and we did not get a call this weekend. I received 2 letters last week and a call the Friday before that. I was really hoping to hear from him. Maybe tomorrow. He said the other day that he has only gotten a couple of letters, and I know that I have sent him several and so has some other people. I think they must only give them so much at a time and only get to write and call so often. I can't wait until the next letter and or phone call. Glad you heard from your son kt.
