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."

No I haven't received an "official" letter from my daughter.  But I did read where the SR's had  some "freetime" on Monday because of the holiday to write letters.  I have a feeling we'll be getting a letter some time this week.  Thinking good thoughts :)
WOOO - WHOO!   We got a letter today!  We all read it together and laughed.  It was good to see his sense of humor.  He was obviously grateful for the letters.  Keep up the writing ladies!

Congrats, that's awesome!
