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."

No not yet, but I'm willing to bet my own sanity we'll get one by the end of the week. Either that or I'll spend this weekend crying my eyeballs out ;)

Hi, I got a new letter today! She sounds really great. She is even enjoying the workouts and has improved a lot since last PFA. She told me she now has a PO position. There is an academic test that was on the 17th and I guess they have an inspection coming up that is supposed to be very though. She mentioned that they are all hoping to get the ok to make the second call soon. It's such a relief to hear that she seems to be thriving!

Maybe it will get better. At least I hope so. My son leaves on Oct 24th. He is going to be a HDMA. I guess we will see.

I wonder why we haven't gotten a letter yet. I hope everything is ok with her :( I am so glad your daughter is doing well. I know that brought a big relief. :)

Does your mail come in really early? Another mom from our division didn't get hers either and her mail comes early. Dunno why it matters but it's a thought.
