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."

It sounded like the whole room was coughing. Adam said he had a cough too and most of them did. But it only really bothers him when he talks which is close to never LOL

Yes! Got a call just about an hour ago. My daughter says it's hard, but they have the best Chief and RDC on base. They are tough on them but they care about them. I am so proud of her and it was so great to hear her voice. I did cry though when I got off the phone. I miss her so much! :)
Sherry, she asked what your son's name is. She was asking about who's mom's I'm talking with here. LOL! So if any of you want to post your kid's names, I will tell her in the next letter.

I sent you a friends request so I can send you his last name, (which is probably how she will know him). We aren't allowed to post them on here publicly. His first name is Adam.

And he said his RDC are cool. He has a watch tonight 2-4 He is not use to cold weather and sounded like he really misses home. We are half way there. Hope to meet you at PIR.

My daughter also said that their Chief and RDC are great and that the rest of the divisions envy them. She said they push them to perform, but also truly care about them. Good to know! Glad your son sounded good.
