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 got a phone call yesterday - my SR needed information - just one week into BC! It was great to hear his voice - all business though. I haven't gotten his address yet, he forgot my new address and sent it to his dad's house. I hope I get it. From what I guess, he may be in the July 1 PIR, which sounds like a pretty big deal - 100th Anniversary of Great Lakes and Navy Week in Chicago.
