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."

Thats great Cait and Cody'smom you must be so happy to hear from them. I'm still stalking my mailbox waiting to hear anything. 7 hours free on Sunday's is enough time to write at least one letter. Oh well maybe tomorrow I will hear something. I hope they all do well on the test today. If anyone gets a phone call please post as soon as possible to let us know. It feels good to hear they are reaching out. Have a wonderful blessed weekend.

Hello Linda & Carol & Cait...I just got my 1st letter down here in FL!!!!!!! I've read it 4 times, so far! He sounds so grown up already. He actually likes getting time OFF to attent to ironing, shoe shining, writing & hygiene. Yep, thats exactly what he SAID. He told me the food was delicious, served buffet style, and that I would love the salad bar. David told me the only time -twice- that they've been yelled at and assigned extra intense physical training was when they didnt act like a team. Our boys are truely going to become brothers in every sense of the word. He also talked about being snowed on - he's a Floridian, after all! Gotta go, it's time to re-read it! Have a wonderful Easter weekend!,
