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."

First letter
Woot woot! We received our first official letter from our SR today... He says he is doing good and has adjusted well to his new life at boot camp. He said it wasn't as bad as he expected and that he was actually "enjoying it"... LOL He really praised his RDC's and said that they were really strict but that they would help them in anyway possible. He said he thought the RDC's at Ship 13 Division 309 (in his opinion) were the best on the base!!! Thank God for answered prayers. He said so far he has not been chewed out!!!!! LOL This momma is so happy and can now breathe and eat!!!!!! He also said that he was going to church with a couple of his friends. Please post if you have received letters... I would love to know if any of your kids are friends with him...... Still checking up on him even in boot camp!!!! LOL
