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."

I haven't received a letter from my son since the beginning of March just wondering why it takes the mail so long to get his letters. Feeling the sting of missing him so very much and hearing from him is the worst.

Got 3 letters in the mail yesterday 1 for me 1 for his stepdad and 1 for his cousin. He basically said that he was taking test and that he only has about 3 weeks left. I was so happy to get a letter but cried like a baby when I read it.
