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."

Don't feel bad, I haven't gotten a phone call either. ; ) Just waiting on the next envelope!
Hi, hope you and your families are doing well. How are your recruits? I haven't received a response to my letter yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get one in the next couple of days.
My husband was doing really well as of last week's letter. He missed us but he was going strong and said bootcamp was 'cake'.  Hope he's still feeling that way this week. I'm thinking I'll get a letter tomorrow since last week's schedule was mucked up because of Columbus' Day.
We are doing great Paul and I am so glad your husband is doing well in bootcamp. Ariel is homesick, but seems to be adjusting to the bootcamp life. She said there is one good thing that the food was pretty good. :) I hope we all hear from them soon and I hope to meet ya'll in November ;)
They are calling! Keep your phone by you, they get a half hour! :D
