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."

Sure, send me your email address. The same offer goes for you. If you need me to pick up the Bible for you and bring it to PIR just let me know. What division is your brother in and what is his name? I want to tell Jacob I have met his sister.

I am trying to be busy and time will go fast. Thank you. I got his formal letter with his address on Friday and I mailed to him my letters and I am sending a little card every day. I believe everything will be good. Your brother left on March 25, right. Today is two weeks!

Same here - going fast! We write a little every day and mail something every day...starting today. Makes it a little easier, feels like we've talked to him.
