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."

I got 2 letters Thursday and my son sounds great! Counting the days till the ceremony, says they've all been fitted for their dress whites and have practiced for the march! He's going to A scchool at Ft Sam, TX and says his bunkmate is also a corpseman but didn't say his name. We are flying in Wed afternoon and are staying at Ramada Inn. Should be there around 6-6:30!!

I got a letter from my son today, very happy :) ... he said he knows Parks, Buccola, Allen, and Catlin. He said he has moved from section 5 to section 4, not sure what that means, and he sure didn't explain it so I will have to ask when I write him back lol

My husband is Allen!! Whats your son's name? I get in at 730pm on Wed at midway and then off to the Ramada. Anybody else have any thoughts on taking the shuttle to the base Thursday morning instead of trying to fight traffic and find parking? I only get to see him for an hour so we will not be able to leave the base. And then I can take the car later to pick him up when he calls....
