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."

Hope everyone is doing well. Our PIR is in our sights now. Getting very exicited and nervous. The recent snow in Chicago sent a chill up my spine. I was hoping they would not have any snow until AFTER we all see our Recurits graduation and move onto there respective posts. Keep praying that the weather is good for all of us. Got 2 letters this week...was hoping to get another phone call. Cannot have everything....

It is almost here! I know we all are all excited about seeing and hugging our SR's! I am worried about the weather, Houston is shut down today due to ice. My boy would be laughing at me right now with what they are going through with winter. PIR just cannot get here soon enough!
