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."

Lucky!!!! Hi, Amanda. My fiance is in the same ship and division as your husband. When he first left, I didn't think I would feel the need to start reaching out like this, but I am starting to go a little stir crazy with wondering what they are doing! The primary issue is that so far, his parents and I have only received one letter, and I want so badly to be able to encourage him in ways that address his specific challenges - but I have no idea what those challenges might be! Writing the same old, same old, "I love you, this is my life, I hope that it provides a welcome diversion from whatever you are doing, you can succeed at whatever you are doing, I know that you will be able to do whatever you are doing with success that can be considered as admirable when compared to your peers, however such a standard may be set." How generic and frustrating is that?!? :P At least we are all in the same boat. (By the way, does anybody else hope that their significant other is stationed on a ship just for the opportunity to constantly say, "I'M ON A BOAT!!!" Because I really really really do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8F3UE9qFsg )

This cracks me up... but "boats" in the Navy are submarines, and a sub sailor will never let you forget it. Which makes it funnier.
