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."

Do you know what airport he is flying out of? They all leave Great Lakes between 2 am and 3 am. They wait at the airport until their flight leaves. You can meet them at the airport and spend time with them before their flight. If he is flying out of Midway, the earliest flight is 6 am which is when airport security opens.

No I don't know what Airport he is flying out of yet. Hopefully he will let me know. I sent him a book of stamps and a calling card yesterday. He also requested his bible.. so I will be sending that today. I hope you are all getting letters.
