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 havent yet just the one sent with the short line saying he was fine. Hoping to get one this week. Sunday is the day they are able to write and phone calls suppose to come in the 4th week.
We received 2 letters today (one written Sunday and one Monday since they had a holiday, so exciting. She says it is harder than she anticipated. It was so great to hear from her, still had some "humor" in her voice:)
