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."

Got a letter today! His gf did also. Sounds like it's pretty rough. The division has already shrunk 8 people, and the whole division has to do IT. On a positive note he loves the food and it's plentiful and varied. Just not much time to eat! It didn't not sound like he had received any of my letters yet :(

He said that the cards mean alot, and he finally got his mail on the 17th. He said bc really sucks he will tell me details after graduation. He said he hopes he can make it through, I dont have any idea how demanding it is. Every move made you are judged and if your incorrect you get screamed at and have to do exercises. He cant wait for grad day...
He is gonna be 24 soon, graduated from college and played college ball so he knows the physical punishment a body can take, but Im guessing this is alot even for him. He didnt really give any more information. We just keep sending him letter telling him to hang tough.

Got two letters from my boyfriend today :D. He said that they already lost some people, but that means those that are left get yelled at less. It does sound like they're all having a tough time, but he said that Week 1 was at least easier than P-week, and he's starting to get into a routine. Hope everyone hears something soon! I'm in NC, so it can't be much longer for anyone else...
